SCORE
Synthesis and Catalysis in Organic, Organometallic and REdox chemistries
Welcome to the SCORE-Lab. The SCORE-Lab gathers several researchers with complementary skills and expertises to develop chemistry projects at the forefront of redox catalysis and organic synthesis. This collaborative scheme undoubtedly constitutes the greatest strength of our team and is the corner-stone of our scientific programs. Our research interests encompass synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry, transition metal catalysis, organocatalysis, photoredox catalysis, and electrochemistry. More specifically, research in the SCORE-Lab seeks to merge the rational design of molecular catalysts (organic and organometallic) with the creative use of photochemical and electrochemical techniques to efficiently and sustainably convert readily available feedstock chemicals to high added value organic scaffolds. A significant part of our efforts is dedicated to fundamental mechanistic studies of new catalytic processes through multidisciplinary approaches.
Our team
Electrochemistry is a valuable tool when it comes to midly, efficently and selectively manipulating electrons. Our group uses electrochemistry as a robust platform to quickly and efficiently develop and optimize redox processes.
