A Career in Catalysis: Didier Astruc

Résumé

We are honored to reflect on and highlight in this Account Didier Astrues achievements in various aspects of catalysis stretching from his concept and design of organoiron electron reservoir complexes and application to redox and electrocatalysis to his dendritic constructions leading to their use in dendritic catalysis, supramolecular nanocatalysis, and energyrelated catalysis. It is at the end of the 70s that Didier Astruc isolated the first stable, well-characterized 19-electron sandwich complex as an electron reservoir and disclosed their catalytic applications. At the same time, he developed an original system of arene polyfunctionalization to star-shaped molecules and dendrimers that he then decorated with catalysts for oxidation, electrocatalysis, polymerization by ROMP, and other olefin metathesis reactions. After disclosure by his group of click metallodendrimers during the first decade of this century, he used them as templates for synthesis of well-defined ultrasmall metal nanoparticles extremely active in catalysis for olefin hydrogenation and C-C bond formation using extremely low catalytic amounts. During the last 15 years, Didier Astruc designed dendritic micellar nanoreactors for molecular, ionic, and nanoparticle catalysis; autocatalysis; and nanozyme catalysis. Recently, his interest focused inter alia on nanocatalyzed hydrogen (H-2) production with very efficient endo- and exoreceptors and CO2 fixation, a field of sustainable energy in which he and his group are currently very active.
