✦ Synopsis
has received the Grand Prix Süe of the French Chemical Society (SociØtØ Française de Chimie, SFC).
The award is named after Pierre Süe, who worked in the field of artificial radioactive elements, and it has been awarded annually since 1997 for work of a high international standard. Verdaguer completed his PhD in 1984 on the synthesis and magnetic properties of bimetallic materials, under the supervision of Olivier Kahn in Orsay (near Paris), and in the same year received the Award of the Coordination Chemistry Division of the SFC for work on ferrimagnetic chains. In 1988 he became professor at the UniversitØ Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. His research is focused on molecular magnets, such as Prussian Blue and other transition-metal-polycyanide complexes. Today he is particularly interested in multifunctional materials: molecular high-spin materials, photomagnetic materials, and optically active magnetic materials. He has contributed significantly to the development of the use of synchrotron irradiation in inorganic chemistry. He was one of the corresponding authors of a Communication on ferromagnetic cyanide-bridged iron-(iii)-cobalt(ii) chains that appeared as the cover-picture article in issue 13/ 2003 of Angewandte Chemie. [1] Verdaguer shares the Süe Award with Jean-Louis Rivail (UniversitØ Nancy I, France), who has been recognized for his contributions to quantum chemistry.
