Didier Astruc (born in Versailles)
did his Ph. D. in Rennes with Prof. R. Dabard and was a NATO
post-doc at MIT with Prof. R. R. Schrock. He has been a
professor at University Bordeaux 1 since 1983, and occupies
the Supramolecular Organometallic Chemistry Chair at the
Institut Universitaire de France since 1995. He has been
known for his concept of electron reservoir and applications
to synthesis, catalysis, electrochemistry and molecular
batteries and the development, in the late 1990’s, of early
organometallic iteration reactions based on proton
reservoirs that had led to giant dendrimers and gold-nanoparticle-cored
dendrimers. His group now searches applications as green
catalysts, redox sensors and in nanomedicine. He authored
inter alia the book “Electron Transfer and Radical Processes
in Transition-Metal Chemistry” prefaced by 1983 Nobel
Laureate Henry Taube (VCH, 1995) and of the standard
textbook “Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis” (Springer,
