DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nResearch in the Gabbaï group has been dedicated to
  the synthesis and study of Lewis acidic main group compounds with the dev
 elopment of applications in molecular recognition and catalysis as the ult
 imate goals. This talk will highlight a series of recent results obtained 
 in pursuit of these objectives. The first part of the presentation will sh
 ow how Lewis acidic boron-\, antimony- and tellurium-based anion receptors
  can be deployed in aqueous media to effectively transport a range of anio
 ns across the phospholipid membrane of artificial vesicles and live cells.
  The second part of the talk will show that the same type of main group Le
 wis acids can be used to engage both organic substrates and transition met
 al halides for application in organometallic catalysis.\n\n \n\n \n\nBio:
 \n\nFrançois Gabbaï\, a native of Montpellier\, was educated at the Univer
 sity of Bordeaux\, the University of Texas at Austin\, and the Technical U
 niversity of Munich where he completed his habilitation in 1998. He then j
 oined Texas A&M University\, where he is now a Distinguished Professor and
  the holder of the Arthur E. Martell Chair of Chemistry. François has serv
 ed as an associate editor for Organometallics between 2011 and 2019\, and 
 for Chemical Science since April 2019. He is a Fellow of the American Chem
 ical Society (ACS)\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)\, an
 d the recipient of the 2009 North American Dalton Lectureship\, the 2016 A
 CS F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry\, the 2019 Dist
 inguished Achievement Research Award from the Texas A&M Association of For
 mer Students\, and the 2022 Boron in the Americas Award. His research inte
 rests revolve around the chemistry of p-block and late transition metal el
 ements with applications in the domain of molecular recognition\, anion se
 nsing and transport\, and catalysis.\n
