Roger Guilard is a French chemist. He is a professor of chemistry at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France [1] [2] where he is a member of the Institute of Molecular Chemistry of the University of Burgundy. [2] [3]
Guilard received the "Agrégation de Sciences Physiques" Degree in 1966 and a PhD in 1971 from the University of Burgundy. [2] [4] He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Basel, Switzerland and at the University of Darmstadt, Germany from 1972 to 1973, [2] and subsequently has been at the University of Burgundy from 1973 to present. [2] [4] At the University of Burgundy he has been the director of the Laboratory of Synthesis and Organometallic Electrosynthesis [2] [4] and the Molecular Engineering Laboratory for Separation and Applications of Gases. [2] [5]
Guilard was Scientific Director of the Department of Chemistry at the French Ministry of Education, Technology and Research, [2] [4] and then Managing Director for the partnership of local authorities in the Partnership Branch of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS. [2] [4]
Guilard founded two companies, Chematech [2] [6] [7] and PorphyChem [2] [7] [8] which produce tetraazamacrocycles, porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related compounds, respectively, for use in research, industrial applications [9] [10] and health care. [11] He is also a member of the advisory board of LARS - Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System [2] [7] which provides synthetic ligaments for soft tissue repair.
Guilard holds 23 patents, including a technique for decontamination of radioactive elements from wastewater, [2] [12] a process for removing lead from drinking water [2] [13] [14] and a carbon monoxide sensor. [2] [15] He has published more than 475 articles in peer-reviewed journals [2] [16] [17] and has co-edited several influential book series including The Porphyrin Handbook, [2] [18] the Handbook of Porphyrin Science, [2] [19] the World Scientific Series on Chemistry, Energy and the Environment, [2] [20] and the World Scientific Series: From Biomaterials Towards Medical Devices. [2] [21] [22] He was an associate editor for the journal Dalton Transactions [2] and has served on the editorial boards for Dalton Transactions, [2] [23] the Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines [2] [24] [25] and the New Journal of Chemistry.

Porphyrins are a group of heterocyclic macrocycle organic compounds, composed of four modified pyrrole subunits interconnected at their α carbon atoms via methine bridges (=CH−). In vertebrates, an essential member of the porphyrin group is heme, which is a component of hemoproteins, whose functions include carrying oxygen in the bloodstream. In plants, an essential porphyrin derivative is chlorophyll, which is involved in light harvesting and electron transfer in photosynthesis.
Jean Baptiste Perrin was a French physicist who, in his studies of the Brownian motion of minute particles suspended in liquids, verified Albert Einstein's explanation of this phenomenon and thereby confirmed the atomic nature of matter. For this achievement he was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1926.
Jean M.J. Fréchet is a French-American chemist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. He is best known for his work on polymers including polymer-supported chemistry, chemically amplified photoresists, dendrimers, macroporous separation media, and polymers for therapeutics. Ranked among the top 10 chemists in 2021, he has authored nearly 900 scientific paper and 200 patents including 96 US patents. His research areas include organic synthesis and polymer chemistry applied to nanoscience and nanotechnology with emphasis on the design, fundamental understanding, synthesis, and applications of functional macromolecules.
Porphine or porphin is an organic compound of empirical formula C20H14N4. It is heterocyclic and aromatic. The molecule is a flat macrocycle, consisting of four pyrrole-like rings joined by four methine bridges, which makes it the simplest of the tetrapyrroles.
The École européenne de chimie, polymères et matériaux of Strasbourg is a public engineering school in the city of Strasbourg, in Alsace, France. It was founded in 1948, and is located on the Cronenbourg Campus of the University of Strasbourg. Each year 90 students graduate from the school with a diplôme d'ingénieur. It is a National School of Engineers, part of the University of Strasbourg and a member of the Fédération Gay-Lussac, which recruits from the common polytechnic entrance examination. It is also part of the Alsace Tech network of nine engineering schools in Alsace. The ECPM offers its students three specialties: chemistry, polymers or materials.
The Bulletin de la Société Chimique de France was a French peer-reviewed scientific journal on chemistry published by the Société Chimique de France. It was established in 1858 under the title Bulletin de la Société Chimique de Paris, under which additional name it appeared until the end of series 3.
Jean-Michel Savéant was a French chemist who specialized in electrochemistry. He was elected member of the French Academy of Sciences in 2000 and foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences in 2001. He published in excess of 400 peer-reviewed articles in chemistry literature.
Published by World Scientific, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science: With Applications to Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine is a multi-volume reference set edited by scientists Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard. The first ten volumes were published in 2010 and the next ten are expected to be published in 2011.
The Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines (JPP) was founded in 1997 and is published by World Scientific. It covers "research in the chemistry, physics, biology and technology of porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related macrocycles". The journal also deals with the synthesis, spectroscopy, processing and applications of such compounds. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2019 impact factor of 1.816, ranking it 83rd out of 157 journals in the category "Chemistry Multidisciplinary".
The Société Chimique de France (SCF) is a learned society and professional association founded in 1857 to represent the interests of French chemists in a variety of ways in local, national and international contexts. Until 2009 the organization was known as the Société Française de Chimie.
Gérard Férey was a French chemist who was a member of the French Academy of Sciences and a professor at the Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University. He specialized in the physical chemistry of solids and materials. He focused on the crystal chemistry of inorganic fluorides and on porous solids.
In coordination chemistry, a macrocyclic ligand is a macrocyclic ring having at least nine atoms and three or more donor sites that serve as ligands that can bind to a central metal ion. Crown ethers and porphyrins are prominent examples. Macrocyclic ligands exhibit high affinity for metal ions.
