The fourth FrenchBIC online webinar will take place on Monday January 17th at 10.30am, and it will be given by: Hélène Bertrand (ENS Paris), Development of Platinum(IV) conjugates of oxaliplatin and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimics as anticancer agents with reduced neurotoxicity (abstract). The format of the seminar is one 30+10 min talk, followed by a meeting time in an online space for informal discussions. The seminar will be given online, there. Organizers: Vincent Fourmond and Benoît Bertrand.

Biomimetic inorganic chemistry aims at reproducing structural and spectroscopic properties and ultimately the reactivity of metallic enzymes. In this context, our group has acquired a strong expertise in using simple and well-studied ligands covalently attached to a molecular cavity. We want now to follow another approach in which a coordination complex is fully embedded in a supramolecular capsule.
