Offer Description

DCM - EMPRE Team

Team description: EMPRE Team - Project Manager (N+1): Prof. Cyrille Costentin (sole team member involved in the project)

Responsibilities

• Conduct electrochemical studies to understand the transformation of chlorosilane compounds into hydrides in the presence of molecular catalysts and a selected proton donor
• Implement the molecular electrochemistry tools developed at the DCM (cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry)
• Study the electrochemical activation of the catalyst in the presence of the proton donor
• Evaluate the hydricity of the catalyst by determining its reactivity with different hydride acceptors
• Examine the reactivity with the R3Si-X precursor and analyse the role of the leaving group X
• Determine any relationships between the activation of the Si-X bond by the catalyst and the dissociation energy of this bond
• Carry out the planned electrochemical experiments
• Analyse the data in close collaboration with the supervisor (C. Costentin)
• Write up and format the results obtained

Qualifications

• Experience in research in molecular chemistry and electrochemistry
• Ability to conduct experiments, analyse them and format the results
