Dr Carole Duboc
Université Grenoble-Alpes
Dr. Carole Duboc received her PhD from the University of Grenoble in 1998 under the supervision of Professor Marc Fontecave. Following postdoctoral position at the University of Minnesota, with Professor William Tolman, she joined the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Grenoble in 2000 and the Department of Molecular Chemistry at Grenoble in 2007, where she is now CNRS senior researcher.
Her research interests have been focused on two different scientific axes: (i) the elucidation of the magnetic properties of metal complexes through an approach combining spectroscopic techniques and theoretical chemistry and (ii) the design of bio-inspired complexes containing metal-sulfur bond(s) to develop structural and functional models of metalloenzymes. The main goals of her current projects concern the development of efficient systems for redox catalysis involving multi-electron reactions, with a particular focus on complexes capable of reproducing specific vital reactivity of the living world with a major interest in the field of energy and environment. Several specific reactions or processes are targeted: selective reduction of O2 in H2O or H2O2, reduction of H+ in H2, and activation & valorization of CO2.
