Molecular Chemistry (MOL) Program
The Molecular Chemistry (MOL) program offers a set of teaching units for comprehensive, solid training in the design and development of molecular tools in a wide range of sectors, from energy to health and the environment.
Overview
The MOL program focuses on the molecule and developing its properties to meet challenges in the future. It is a question of imagining and then preparing molecules, whether organic, organometallic, inorganic or of biological interest, whose properties need to be understood and controlled.
Through the teaching units (UE), students acquire solid knowledge of modern synthesis concepts and methods, and become aware of the challenges of green chemistry and the use of bio-resources. Students understand and choose methods for characterizing the products synthesized, establish the structure-property relationships of molecules and evaluate their potential applications, whether technological or biological.
Specializations in this field and its interfaces
The skills of MOL graduates depend on the combination of UEs they choose. All graduates take the majority of their UEs from MOL program, but some specializations require UEs from other programs.
