Biography

Sauvage was born in Paris in 1944,

Malcolm L. H. Green, he returned to Strasbourg
, where he is now emeritus professor.

Sauvage's scientific work has focused on creating molecules that mimic the functions of machines by changing their conformation in response to an external signal.[6]

His Nobel Prize work was done in 1983, when he was the first to synthesize a

bonded mechanically rather than chemically. Because these two rings can move relative to each other, the Nobel Prize cited this as a vital initial effort towards making molecular machine. The other two recipients of the prize followed up by later creating a rotaxane and a molecular rotor.[7][8]

Other research includes electrochemical reduction of CO2 and models of the photosynthetic reaction center.[9]

A large theme of his work is molecular

mechanically-interlocked molecular architectures. He has described syntheses of catenanes and molecular knots based on coordination complexes.[10]

He was elected a correspondent member of the French Academy of Sciences on 26 March 1990, and became a member on 24 November 1997. He is currently emeritus professor at the University of Strasbourg (Unistra).[11]

He shared the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines" with Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa.[12][13][7][14] He was elected a foreign associate of the US National Academy of Sciences in April 2019.[15]

As of 2021, Sauvage has an h-index of 109 according to Google Scholar[16] and of 100 according to Scopus.[17]
