- W2559138881 abstract "This special issue of ChemElectroChem has 50 original research papers from collaborators, former team members, and many friends of Christian Amatore on the occasion of his 65th birthday. These contributions illustrate many areas of research that Christian Amatore has advanced during his career. Fundamental research remains an important key in electrochemistry and is the pathway to breakthroughs in science. Christian Amatore is one of the main actors of the field. Christian's contributions have provided electrochemistry with new concepts and new tools that have greatly impacted numerous mechanistic problems in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry, the biology of living cells, and frontier issues of the electrode/electrolyte interface and molecular transport. Christian Amatore was educated at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS), a leading French educational institute and research center. He received his Ph.D. in 1979 under the supervision of Jean-Michel Savéant, a renowned electrochemist, and then spent a year in the group of Jay K. Kochi (University of Bloomington, USA) as a post-doctorate. He then entered the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France) and quickly moved up the ranks to Director of Research at the CNRS. He is now a Full Member of the French Académie des Sciences, where he has served as a Vice-President in charge of Education. Christian has also served as a Member of Academia Europe, a Member of the Third World Academy of Sciences, a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (a very rare distinction for non-Chinese chemists), an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and of the Chinese Chemical Society, an Honorary Member of the Israeli Chemical Society, a Distinguished Scientist of the French Chemical Society, and acting President-Elect and then President of the International Society of Electrochemistry. Over the past years, he acted as one of the 20 members of the High Council of Science and Technology that advised the French Governments on scientific matters. He has been knighted three times by the French Republic in the Order of National Merits, the Order of Legion d'Honneur for his scientific achievements, as well in the Order of Academic Palms for his deep involvement for scientific education in universities but also in elementary, middle, and high schools. Christian's research has focused on the development of advanced electrochemical concepts, methodologies, and instrumentation for investigating extremely complex mechanisms of organic and organometallic chemistry under the conditions used by synthetic chemists. His contributions in molecular kinetics are best illustrated by the rationalization of electron-transfer catalysis, electron-transfer activation of molecules, and more recently by a thorough series of works related to the elucidation of the most important mechanistic aspects of catalysis with homogeneous palladium complexes, an extremely active area in today's catalysis for carbon–carbon bond making in the fine-chemical industry. These well-recognized contributions of Christian's group have opened new avenues to rationalize these important processes, which have already led to the development of new synthetic strategies. Christian is prolific in developing analytical methods, building instruments, and applying mathematics to electrochemistry for the purpose of resolving complex phenomena. His pioneering contributions to the field of electroanalytical chemistry are numerous and highly diverse, including the development of ultrafast-scan voltammetry (106 V s−1), the beautiful general analysis of migrational fluxes at microelectrodes, natural convection driven by stochastic density fluctuations, and probing the mechanism of neurotransmitter release. Christian's enthusiasm for electrochemistry (and any scientific or intellectual topic) is truly infectious—it is impossible to have a discussion with Christian and not be stimulated by his approach and ideas! Thanks to his open, knowledgeable, and stimulating discussions with colleagues, he has made friends all over the world. Christian's scientific activity is certainly not limited to electrochemistry. When he acted as Director of the Chemistry Department of ENS, as ENS Professor of Chemistry and holding the former position of Louis Pasteur, he brought the department back to the front of the international scene by giving it its present configuration, encompassing chemical fields from theoretical physical chemistry to bioorganic chemistry, with a special focus on chemical issues of importance in life design and life functions. In the 41 years of Christian has spent at the CNRS, he has mentored over 67 Ph.D. students (including habilitation theses) who have gone on to successful careers. Christian's research has been published in 478 primary research publications, accumulating more than 20 000 citations. He has received many important French and international distinctions, among which are the Silver Medal (CNRS), the Reilley Award (SEAC), the de Broglie Medal (Academia dei Lincei), the Bourke Medal (RSC), the Galvani Medal (SCI), the Breyer Medal (RACI), the Heyrovsky Award (Charles University, Prague), the Faraday Medal (RSC), and the Volta Medal (ECS). He has presented countless lectures at premier universities across the globe and is an Honorary Professor or Doctor Honoris Causa of several universities in Europe and Asia. It is our greatest pleasure to celebrate Christian's 65th birthday with this issue. We thank all of the authors for their contributions that reflect the science that Christian has pushed forward for many years. On behalf of all the authors and countless members of the physical chemistry community who have had the chance to interact with Christian, we wish Christian a fantastic “Happy Birthday” and many more years of scientific and enthusiastic excellence." @default.
