معرفی
Christophe Lescop is a CNRS Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Sciences of Rennes (ISCR, UMR 6226) within the National Institute of Applied Sciences Rennes (INSA Rennes). He joined CNRS in 2002, was promoted to Directeur de Recherche in 2019, and has contributed extensively to coordination and supramolecular chemistry of luminescent molecular materials.
- 1996: Engineer in Chemistry, École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris
- 2000: PhD in Chemistry, University of Grenoble I
His research focuses on the coordination chemistry of Cu(I) complexes with bridging phosphane ligands, enabling the synthesis of supramolecular metallacycles for optoelectronic applications. He explores adaptive coordination-driven reactions to control thermochromism, vapochromism, and mechanochromism in polymetallic systems. His work highlights the labile coordination sphere of Cu(I) as a tool for multifunctional solid-state materials.
Leveraging 15+ publications in top-tier journals like Acc. Chem. Res., J. Am. Chem. Soc., and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., his studies emphasize luminescence tuning, supramolecular self-assembly, and metallacycle formation. Awards include the CNRS Prime d'excellence scientifique (2011) and a Humboldt Fellowship (2012-2015).
At INSA, he teaches practical general chemistry courses since 2014 and collaborates with institutions in Germany, Hong Kong, France, and Sweden. Notable co-authors include Karine Costuas, Manfred Scheer, and Vivian W-W. Yam.
