Job Description
Thesis Subject
The project aims to design single-atom catalysts based on Rh, Ru, and Co for the hydroformylation of alkenes and amines using CO₂ as a surrogate for carbon monoxide. This PhD project is part of a collaborative research program between Prof. Kyoko Nozaki and Dr. Xiongjie Jin (The University of Tokyo) and Dr. Rosa Axet (Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, CNRS, Toulouse, France), bringing together complementary expertise in carbonylation chemistry and nanocatalysis.
The candidate will ideally hold a master in (heterogeneous) catalysis, and material chemistry, a background in organometallic chemistry will be appreciated, with a broad knowledge of characterization techniques (NMR, IR, XRD, TEM, BET, etc.) The ideal candidate should be a highly motivated person with good communication skills and able to interact with people from various backgrounds and nationalities.
Your Work Environment
The Coordination Chemistry Laboratory (LCC) is a CNRS own laboratory whose fundamental research activity focuses on the design and characterization of molecules or original polyatomic structures, often at the interfaces of coordination chemistry and heterochemistry with materials or biology. Five main axes structure the activity of the Laboratory: molecular synthesis, catalysis, the design of nano-objects, the study of the physical and chemical properties of these objects and materials and the design of molecules for therapeutic purposes.
Constraints and risks
The PhD candidate will be based at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC-CNRS) in Toulouse, France. A research stay of 3 to 6 months at The University of Tokyo (Japan) is planned as part of the PhD project.
