"Selon une variante de réalisation compatible avec les variantes de réalisation précédentes, la molécule organométallique de vanadium est choisie parmi les molécules suivantes : TEMAV, TDMAV, TDEAV, tétrachlorure de vanadium VCl4, chlorure de vanadium(III) VCl3, bromure de vanadium VBr3, les molécules comportant une fonctionnalisation cyclopentadiényle et/ou comportant une fonctionnalisation carbonyle ou les molécules halogénées de valence inférieure ou égale à 4."

"Procédé ..., caractérisé en ce que la molécule organométallique de vanadium est choisie parmi les molécules suivantes : TEMAV, TDMAV, TDEAV, bromure de vanadium VBr3, les molécules comportant une fonctionnalisation cyclopentadiényle et/ou comportant une fonctionnalisation carbonyle ou les molécules halogénées de valence inférieure ou égale à 4."

It may be that the translation of this does not involve the use of an indefinite article, i.e. "a functionalisation". I have done a bit of searching and perhaps one helpful definition can be found at https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/fonctionnalisation : "Ajout d’une fonction chimique à un substrat."

Bearing a cyclopentadienyl/carbonyl group


Explanation:
As a chemist, I use the construction type "the molecule bears a XX group", where XX = the group attached to the main skeleton of the molecule. In this description, it is being mentioned that a certain group of molecules can be used as substrates for a given reaction, giving some names of molecules such as TEMAV or, in other cases, mentioning that molecules with an specific structural property can also be used. Your sentences belong to this second group, and therefore if I had to describe it, it would ld be using the following: "the molecule is prepared using the following possible substrates: TEMAV [...], a molecule bearing a cyclopentadienyl or a carbonyl group...", which matches with the message in here.
Hope this helps. Best of lucks with the translation work.

Example sentence(s):
  • J'ai preparé une molécule comportant une fonctionnalisation étyle dans la position C3
  • I have prepared a molécule bearing an ethyl group in the C3 position.
