Aurelien Chardon

Aurelien Chardon is a researcher at the University of Namur, focusing on

• Lewis acid-base chemistry
• Boron and selenium compounds
• Catalytic activation of small molecules

His work explores the intersection of inorganic and organic chemistry through frustrated Lewis pairs and bifunctional catalysts.

Research Trends from 2018-2025 show specialization in

• Atropisomerism in boron compounds
• Borylation and Lewis pair systems
• Superacid analogs and pyridine interactions
• Crystal structure determination

with 15+ research outputs and 18 datasets archived via Crystallographic Data Centre collaborations.

Projects include

• Metallomimetic CH bond activation (2021-2024)
• BORODIP: Borylated carbanions (2020-2023)

collaborating with researchers like Berionni, Champagne, and Robiette.
