To us, marginal chemical stability is a fascinating hurdle.

We are an inorganic/main-group chemistry research group who are motivated by curiosity and who like a synthetic challenge. We are particularly interested in putting "incompatible" functional groups together in molecules, in handling metastable or extremely reactive species, in explosives... we are into extreme chemistry!

Classical Methods

We use high-vacuum lines that allow the handling and purification of precise amounts of highly reactive or corrosive gases at very low temperatures.

Safety

We use handmade reaction vessels designed to avoid shrapnel in the event of an explosion.

Welcome and goodbye!

We wish a warm welcome to Houari Dahmani, who is beginning a PhD with us this Fall!

... And we say goodbye to Nathan Camboulin, our latest Summer intern, who worked hard on those arsabenzene oxidation reactions!

Funding

We recently secured funding from FRQNT(relève professorale), CFI (Evans Leaders Fund), NSERC (catalyst) from Université Laval/FSG and have also received the generous gift of a used double(!!!) glovebox from our good friends from the Fontaine group.

Many thanks to all!
