CEISAM Institute
Research institute in Molecular Chemistry
UMR CNRS 6230
The CEISAM Institute (Interdisciplinary Chemistry: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling) was founded in 2008, in order to structure Nantes Molecular Chemistry (theoretical chemistry, organic / organometallic synthesis, analytical chemistry & physicochemistry).

Three CEISAM projects selected under the ANR’s 2026 General Call for Proposals
Three projects involving CEISAM members have been selected under the National Research Agency’s (ANR) 2026 Generic Call for Proposals. The successful projects are: – MAGNETIMA, a collaborative research project (PRC) led by Lénaïc Lartigue; – MatersMOST, a collaborative research project (PRC), with Adèle Laurent as a partner; – REDKNOTS, a collaborative research project (PRC), with...
Fluorescent cross-shaped dyes reaching into the near-infrared
Researchers from CEISAM (CNRS/Nantes Université) and the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanoscience of Marseille (CINaM, CNRS/Aix-Marseille Université) have developed a new family of cross-shaped organic dyes whose optical properties can be tuned by modifying their molecular architecture. These original molecules consist of an aromatic core bearing electron-donating and electron-accepting groups along two perpendicular directions. This cross-shaped...
Audit carried out by the Pays de la Loire Region and Kaléinno
Audits for the OpenLab certification are getting underway at CEISAM. On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, we welcomed a group of four auditors (from Kaléinno and the Pays de la Loire region) for the Regional isotope platform from Pays de la Loire (PLI), whose Nantes site was selected for the audit.

Our research teams
This Institute is organized into five research teams covering coherent areas of activity but which are based on different and highly complementary segments, giving rise to original transversal projects.
On the basis of fundamental and specific expertise, CEISAM is positioned in a certain number of niches of excellence at the interface with the fields of Health, Food chemistry and Materials, through privileged interactions at regional, national and international levels.
Platforms and equipment
To support our research activities, the CEISAM Institute owns many specialist equipments.
These instruments and equipment chains, sometimes intégrated into platforms, aim to synthesize, model, prepare and characterize organic or hybrid items. The European Union, the CNRS and the "Pays de la Loire" region have largely contributed to co-financing these platforms and equipments in particular in NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Molecular Modeling, Optical spectroscopies and microscopy.
