First, my close colleagues in our Theoretical Chemistry laboratory: Dr Marie-Laure Bocquet, Dr Françoise Delbecq, Dr Fabienne Vigné, Dr Philippe Sautet, Céline Dupont: we did so much but the "road to DFT paradize" is not ending yet :-). Fruitful collaborations in the recent years with Dr Yvette Jugnet (HREELS) and Dr Laurent Piccolo (in situ PM-IRAS). Helpful discussions with Dr David Farrusseng (years ago) and future collaborations (I hope!) with Dr Yves Schuurmann and Dr Daniel Bianchi. "Mille fois merci" to Laurence Besson for all the time I had been in the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse. God shone a light on you :-).

Recent extremely fruitful colloborations with Dr Conrad Becker and Professor Klaus Wandelt. Obviously the story about aldehydes on metallic surfaces would not have been that exciting without Jan Haubrich scientific ardour and rigour.
