Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ruthenium, Medicinal chemistry, Organic chemistry, Catalysis and Stereochemistry. The Ruthenium study combines topics in areas such as Imidazole, Dehydrogenation, Ligand, Polymer chemistry and Photochemistry. The concepts of his Medicinal chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Proton NMR, Reactivity, Diphenylphosphine and Monoclinic crystal system.

Brian R. James combines subjects such as Iodide and Metal with his study of Catalysis. His work deals with themes such as Sulfoxide, Palladium, Phosphine, Crystal structure and Amine gas treating, which intersect with Stereochemistry. His Crystal structure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inorganic compound, Molecule and Disproportionation.

His most cited work include:

  • Thermodynamics of ligand and oxygen binding to cobalt protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester in toluene solution. (117 citations)
  • The reactivity of five-coordinate Ru(II) (1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) complexes with the N-donor ligands: ammonia, pyridine, 4-substituted pyridines, 2,2′-bipyridine, bis(o-pyridyl)amine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-diphenylphenanthroline and ethylenediamine (114 citations)
  • Catalysed aerobic dehydrogenation of amines and an X-ray crystal structure of a bis(benzylamine) ruthenium(II) porphyrin species (94 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Medicinal chemistry, Ruthenium, Stereochemistry, Catalysis and Organic chemistry. His research in Medicinal chemistry intersects with topics in Benzene, Imine, Ligand, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Phosphine. He works mostly in the field of Ruthenium, limiting it down to concerns involving Polymer chemistry and, occasionally, Palladium.

The various areas that Brian R. James examines in his Stereochemistry study include Reactivity, Molecule and Crystal structure. His research investigates the connection between Catalysis and topics such as Inorganic chemistry that intersect with issues in Aqueous solution. His research in Organic chemistry is mostly focused on Lignin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (39.68%)
  • Ruthenium (33.87%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2020)?

  • Medicinal chemistry (39.68%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.54%)
  • Organic chemistry (23.43%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Brian R. James mainly focuses on Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Phosphine and Ruthenium. His studies in Medicinal chemistry integrate themes in fields like Proton NMR, Rhodium, Catalysis, Imine and Photochemistry. His Stereochemistry research incorporates themes from Ligand, Acetone and Crystal structure.

His study ties his expertise on Polymer chemistry together with the subject of Organic chemistry. The various areas that he examines in his Phosphine study include Tris, Hydroxymethyl, Aqueous solution and Phosphonium. As part of one scientific family, Brian R. James deals mainly with the area of Ruthenium, narrowing it down to issues related to the Nitroimidazole, and often Etanidazole and Derivative.

Between 2003 and 2020, his most popular works were:
