Hybrid and structured materials

Hybrid" materials are a new family of materials, associating organic ligands with inorganic entities, and are increasingly studied at both fundamental and application levels.

In this EU, two main categories of hybrid materials will be discussed:

• Coordination Networks and Metal-Organic Frameworks
• Organosilicon/carbon materials

CM : 10 h

TD : 10 h

• To give an overview of hybrid materials by introducing general concepts of synthesis (coordination chemistry in solution and sol-gel chemistry...)
• Give an overview of the usual characterizations for these materials (NMR, IR, XRD, GTA...)
• To complete the vision of the solid state by studying structures of some reference materials
• Different categories of applications: gas storage, catalysis, optical/magnetic properties, biomedical applications, pollution control...

• Notions of coordination chemistry (geometry of complexes, spectrochemical series)
• Thermodynamics and kinetics of complexes
• Reactivity of the elements of the block p

• Properties of transition metal complexes (optical, magnetic)
• Weak interactions (VdW, H-bonds, π-stacking etc ...)
• Notions of NMR, vibrational spectroscopy

Electronic spectroscopy

Integral continuous assessment

Hybrid" materials are a new family of materials, associating organic ligands with inorganic entities, and are increasingly studied at both fundamental and application levels.

Two broad categories of hybrid materials will be discussed:

• - Coordination Networks and Metal-Organic Frameworks
• - Organosilicon/carbon materials

The main applications of these materials will be covered in both lecture and lab sessions.

Objectives:

 - To give an overview of hybrid materials by introducing general concepts of synthesis (coordination chemistry in solution and sol-gel chemistry...)

- Give an overview of the usual characterizations for these materials (NMR, IR, XRD, GTA...)

- To complete the vision of the solid state by studying structures of some reference materials

- Different categories of applications: gas storage, catalysis, optical/magnetic properties, biomedical applications, pollution control...

Program and schedule:

• Teaching shared equally between :

- J. Long (Coordination polymers and MOFs): 5 H CM + 5 H TD

Introduction to Molecular Materials: chemical interactions, crystal engineering principles, coordination polymers and MOFs

Properties and Applications: gas adsorption, catalysis, magnetic and optical properties, biomedical applications.

Concrete examples of both synthesis and properties will be discussed during the tutorial sessions.

  - C. Charnay (Carbonaceous/Silicate Materials): 5 H CM + 5 H TD

  Introduction to carbon nanomaterials, in particular Graphene and carbon nanotubes: development and applications of biomedical and sensor type

• Sol-gel reactivity applied to the elaboration of nanosilica and organosilica with controlled porosity. Presentation of some functionalization methods and complex core/shell structures. Study of some properties and applications: adsorption in liquid phase and depollution, catalysis, control of optical properties for applications in bionanotechnology.
• Concrete examples of both synthesis routes and properties for targeted applications will be discussed during the TD sessions.
