Abstract
The present research proposal aims to develop a series of directions which are less or non-explored to date in the chemistry of graphene. Its objectives rely on the experience of the four participants in organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, molecular magnetism and catalysis. The project will stimulate not only the enhancement of the value of previously synthesized compounds by the partners, but also the development of an original chemistry. The hierarchical organization of organometallic – classical transition metal complexes on graphene surface is a step forward in materials science. The design of 3-D frameworks incorporating graphene is original and opens interesting perspectives for applications. The grafting of magnetic and luminescent complexes on graphene could bring an important added value in molecular magnetism. The catalytic processes to be investigated are carefully selected, in order to address important problems in organic synthesis, environmental protection and energy.

Main objectives
The project will focus on the following major objectives:
(i) design of networks by covalent connections between the decorated graphene sheets;
(ii) design of graphene - based hybridmaterials with appropriate organometallic/metalloid units as ligands for transition metals;
(iii) single molecule magnets and luminescent molecules grafted on graphene;
(iv) functionalization of graphene with macrocycles, cryptands and rotaxanes for organocatalytic reactions;
(v) development of multifunctional catalysts for controlled cascade reactions;
(vi) applications in catalysis (the valorization of the CO2 emissions; the hydrogenation of nitro-alkenes and mixtures of acetylene-ethylene; C-C and C-N coupling reactions) and gas sorption.
A special attention in these studies will be addressed to the investigation of the catalytic mechanisms.
