Corine Mathonière (born 3 May 1968) is a French chemist and Professor at the University of Bordeaux.[1] She is part of the Molecular Materials and Magnetism team, who look to use modular molecular materials to assemble into various architectures. She was appointed to the Ordre des Palmes académiques in 2010.[1] [2]

Early life and education

Mathonière was born in Montluçon. She attended Paris-Sud University, where she majored in chemistry. Her doctorate involved using optical spectroscopy to understand polynuclear compounds, and comparing light-matter interactions with their quantum properties. She moved to the Royal Institution where she worked alongside Peter Day on iron(III) compounds. Her research considered the development of new bimetallic compounds with novel magnetic properties. She identified a family or iron(III) compounds that comprise two-dimensional honeycomb networks, some of which behaved as ferrimagnets and some of which exhibit antiferromagnetism.[3]

Research and career

In 1994 Mathonière was appointed to the University of Bordeaux as an associate professor. She completed her habilitation on photomagnetism by electron transfer in molecular compounds, and was promoted to full Professor in 2010. That year she was appointed a Chevalière dans l’Ordre des Palmes académiques.[2]

Her research considers molecular magnetism,[4] spin crossover molecules,[5] and coordination chemistry.[6]
