Guillaume Naulet wins a prize!

Dans le cadre de l’Idex de l’Université de Bordeaux, Guillaume Naulet, a reçu le prix de thèse “Sciences et Technologie”.
Guillaume a effectué sa thèse au CRPP de 2015 à 2018, sous la direction de Fabien DUROLA et Harald BOCK, dans l’équipe M3.

Son travail concernait le développement de techniques de protection pour la synthèse de larges arènes polycycliques par réaction de Perkin, ce qui a notamment permis de former des rubans de Möbius moléculaires.
