Konuşma Başlığı : Consequences of steric constraints on a catalytic center

David Sémeril is a “Chargé de recherche” within the CNRS. After a Ph.D. in catalysis under the supervision of Dr. C. Bruneau and Prof. P. H. Dixneuf in Rennes, he carried out
postdoctoral studies in Pisa on polymer chemistry with Prof. F. Ciardelli, then in Florence with Dr. C. Bianchini, where he developed several active polymerization catalysts based on
conformationally restricted ligands. He joined the CNRS in 2003 in Strasbourg, where he actively developed a research program on applying ligands derived from molecular cavities
(calixarenes and resorcinarenes) in homogeneous catalysis. He passed his habilitation qualification in 2008, and his most remarkable results concern highly selective hydroformylation catalysts and efficient supramolecular catalysts, all based on macrocyclic skeletons. He was awarded the Gineste Prize (University of Rennes) in 2001 and the Prize of the Coordination Chemistry Division of the French Chemical Society in 2016. He is a coauthor of 107 publications.
