Supramolecular Catalysis

Piet van Leeuwen is holder of the "IDEX Chaire d´Attractivité", Université de Toulouse, INSA. He has chaired and directed many activities in the field of catalysis in the Netherlands. He worked with Shell in Amsterdam for twenty six years in a wide variety of topics of homogeneous catalysis. During many years he was in charge of Shell´s fundamental efforts related to organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. In 1989 he founded the homogeneous catalysis group at the University of Amsterdam, which he directed until 2007.His interest ranges from fundamental aspects to applied catalysis utilizing mainly late transition metals. New concepts to which he contributed include host-guest catalysis, dendrimer catalysis, effects of wide bite-angles, and in-situ spectroscopy. Main research areas are ligand effects in hydroformylation, carbonylation reactions, carbon-carbon bond formation reactions, microflow reactor systems for homogeneous catalysis, and e-learning. He has (co)authored more than 400 publications, about 35 patents, and is (co)author (co)editor of 9 books, of which stands out his popular textbook Homogeneous Catalysis; understanding the art. He has (co)supervised almost 50 PhD theses.Matthieu Raynal got his engineering diploma from ENSIACET (Toulouse) and then moved to Université de Strasbourg to get his PhD degree under the supervision of Dr Pierre Braunstein in 2009. He conducted postdoctoral studies at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris, France) and in the group of Prof. Piet W. N. M. van Leeuwen at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ, Tarragona, Spain). In 2012, he was appointed as a CNRS researcher in the group of L. Bouteiller (Sorbonne Université). He is fascinated by how non-covalent interactions can be designed to control the outcome of a catalytic reaction, i.e. supramolecular catalysis. His current interests concern the development of supramolecular helical catalysts with particular efforts devoted to exalt their chirality amplification and switchable properties, the design of functional chiral assemblies and the better understanding of the structure-property relationship of supramolecular polymers.
