Christiane Dietrich-Buchecker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christiane O. Dietrich-Buchecker (* 1942 ; † 2008 ) was a French chemist ( organic chemistry , supramolecular chemistry ).

Christiane Dietrich-Buchecker received her doctorate in 1973 from the University of Strasbourg under M. Frank-Neumann with a dissertation on small rings. She has been researching for the CNRS since 1970 . As a post-doctoral student , she was with Barry Sharpless at MIT. She then did research at the University of Strasbourg, where she became a close collaborator of Jean-Pierre Sauvage in the early 1980s, researching catenanes , rotaxanes and molecular knots ( knotanes ).

In 1983 she was involved in the breakthrough of Jean-Pierre Sauvage in the synthesis of catenanes - her template synthesis of a 2-catenane with transition metal complexes required only 2 instead of 15 individual steps. In 1989, together with Jean-Pierre Sauvage, she succeeded in synthesizing a molecular trefoil loop knot for the first time.
