Post-doctoral Researcher in Organic Chemistry

Post-doctoral Researcher in Organic Chemistry
University of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France
From € 2750 up to € 3090 per month gross
Your mission
This postdoctoral project focuses on the development of COFs (Covalent Organic Framework) whose monomers will be organic aromatic rotaxanes, attached to each other by boroxine or boronate type links. It is at the interface of organic chemistry, host-guest supramolecular chemistry, and 2D polymer chemistry.
Your mission will consist of designing and carrying out the synthesis of rigid conjugated macrocycles and molecular axes, conducting host-guest association tests, forming 2D COF materials by polymerization, analyzing products and writing progress reports.
Organic and supramolecular synthesis
You reproduce the synthesis of rigid conjugated macrocycles;
You design and carry out the synthesis of molecular axes incorporating the selected guests;
You prepare the monomers based on organic aromatic rotaxanes.
Evaluation of host-guest interactions and 2D polymerization
You carry out association tests to determine the nature of the best guests;
You proceed with the formation of 2D materials (COFs) by polymerization via boroxine or boronate links.
Analytical characterization and valuation
You ensure the in-depth analysis of synthesized products and 2D materials: NMR 1H, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, IR, etc.;
You prepare progress, optimization, and analysis reports.
You contribute to the scientific dissemination of results within the research group and through articles.
Your strengths/Your talents
Holder of a PhD in Organic Chemistry, you have at least 2 years of experience in the field of synthesis and characterization of organic compounds and have acquired proven expertise in multi-step organic synthesis.
You are proficient in spectroscopic and analytical characterization techniques (NMR, IR, MS, UV-Vis);
You demonstrate excellent skills in writing scientific reports and communicating results;
You are autonomous and know how to work in a multidisciplinary team;
You are proficient in English in a multicultural context.
