General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
The objective of the PhD is to develop new synthesis and/or functionalization methods to obtain functionalized heterocyclic molecules. These molecules are based on 5- or 6-member azaheteroaromatic rings (diazines, triazines, triazoles, tetrazoles, etc.). The targeted structures make it possible to envisage high densities and enthalpies of formation, while maintaining low sensitivity (thermal, mechanical, etc.). They find applications in the energy field, notably propulsion, explosives and gas generators (airbags). In addition, these heterocyclic compounds as well as the intermediates are also structurally close to families of biologically active products and/or likely to exhibit fluorescence properties, as already shown in a previous PhD in the laboratory.
