II. Research activities
Development of oxygen-17 isotope enrichment methods through mechanochemistry
Part of our research activities aims to enrich molecules and materials with oxygen-17, by "liquid assisted grinding", using only a few microliters of water enriched in 17O. This allowed us to then perform unprecedented high-resolution 17O solid NMR analyses to elucidate the structure and reactivity of molecules and (nano)materials.
- The development of 17O isotopic enrichment processes by mechanochemistry for high-resolution solid NMR analyses.
- The synthesis and study of the structure of biomaterials and biominerals incorporating a “calcium phosphate” part, using in particular 43Ca solid NMR analysis methods.
- The implementation of new operando methods to follow the course of mechanochemistry reactions.
