Palermo, 11-Nov-2004
- Professor
Joël
Moreau, Director of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie
Montpellier (ENSCM) in France and one of Europe's leading materials
chemists, gave a fascinating lecture on
sol-gel self-organizing hybrid materials
- a field in which his Group at the ENCSM has given fundamental
contributes.
Joel entertains fruitful co-operation with Palermo's nanochemistry
laboratory and
Sicily's Solar
Pole, which will lead to important papers, among which the
frequently cited "
Aerobic
oxidation of alcohols in carbon dioxide with silica-supported ionic
liquids doped with perruthenate" in
Chemistry: A European Journal. .
His current research interests concern the synthesis of organic and
hybrid materials and the tuning of their nano structuration and
properties: the self assembly of organosilicas and the selective
synthesis and self-organisation of
pi-conjugated
nano-architectures for applications in separation and
extraction, catalysis, optics and sensing.
Joël's work in Montpellier, which will earn him in 2006 the Chevalier
de l’Ordre National du Mérite, has led to the creation of a fertile
School in sol-gel science and technology from which originates the
striking discovery of
helical hybrid
silicas, with chirality transcription from the precursor
molecule to the hybrid solid
Joël has directed the ENSCM between 2002 and 2012.
