Overview

Claude Lecomte is affiliated with the University of Lorraine in France and has contributed extensively to research in the fields of materials science and chemistry. Their work spans multiple subfields including materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical and theoretical chemistry, electronic, optical and magnetic materials, and organic chemistry.

The scientist's research focuses on topics such as crystallization and solubility studies, X-ray diffraction in crystallography, crystallography and molecular interactions, crystal structures of chemical compounds, perovskite materials and applications, magnetic and transport properties of perovskites and related materials, and synthesis of organic compounds.

Lecomte has published several papers, including:

  • Crystal engineering of a co-crystal of antipyrine and 2-chlorobenzoic acid: relative energetic contributions based on multipolar refinement (2022, CrystEngComm)
  • Spin-resolved atomic orbital model refinement for combined charge and spin density analysis: application to the YTiO3 perovskite (2021, Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances)
  • Crystal engineering, electron density analysis, and in situ variable temperature studies on co-crystal between nicotinic acid and gallic acid sesquihydrate (2022, CrystEngComm)
  • Synthesis, crystal structure and phase transitions of novel hybrid perovskite: bis(1,2-diaminopropane) di-μ-chloro-bis[diaquadichloromanganate(II)] dichloride (2023, Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Science Crystal Engineering and Materials)
  • Synthesis, structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-oxo-2H-chromen-6-yl 4-tert-butylbenzoate: work carried out as part of the AFRAMED project (2024, Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications)

Frequent coauthors in Lecomte's publications include Arshad Mehmood, Sajida Noureen, Maqsood Ahmed, Infal Iqbal, and Emmanuel Wenger.

The primary publication venues for their work are:

  • The Cambridge Structural Database
  • Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications
  • Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances
  • Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Science Crystal Engineering and Materials
  • CrystEngComm

Lecomte's research integrates detailed crystallographic studies with advanced techniques in electron density analysis and crystal engineering. Their contributions span both experimental synthesis and theoretical analysis, particularly in the study of perovskite materials and co-crystals.
