Organic and Inorganic Chemistry

Yann Trolez has completed his PhD in 2010 from the University of Strasbourg under the guidance of Jean-Paul Collin and Jean-Pierre Sauvage where he worked on rotaxanebased molecular machines. He then moved to ETH Zürich in François Diederich group as a Post-doctoral fellow where he worked on alleno-acetylenic compounds bearing interesting optoelectronic properties. In 2011, he was appointed as Assistant Professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes (Univ Rennes) where he now works on organic interstellar chemistry and on new cyanated compounds having interesting optical properties. He has published about 35 papers in peer-review international journals.
