Organic, polymer, materials and medicinal chemistry — Organic chemistry on the nanometer scale with macromolecules: from catalysis and chiral recognition to targeted drug delivery
Most individual projects in the Frchet research group involve organic synthesis applied to large macromolecules for which chemical structure, architecture, and reactive group placement defines function. Our research covers both fundamental and applied aspects of organic, polymer, and materials chemistry. As a result, most projects involve three stages:
the design stage with the development of approaches and the study of mechanisms;
the synthetic stage with the preparation of model compounds and target molecules;
the characterization stage with characterization of structure and properties, and the testing of function.
