Dr. Cadiau’s research is mainly concerned with the synthesis/characterization of new MOFs including or not fluorine atoms.Because the structure of these crystalline materials is essential to understand the relationship with properties, like gas sorption, she’s developed a strong background on structure determination by powder or single-crystal diffractometry. Dr. Cadiau has also developed skills in solid state NMR and photoluminescence characterization.
