Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Bilirubin, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Photochemistry and Hydrogen bond. His Bilirubin study combines topics in areas such as Carboxylic acid, Jaundice, Chromatography, Chloroform and Pigment. The various areas that he examines in his Stereochemistry study include Tetrapyrrole and Medicinal chemistry.

His study explores the link between Organic chemistry and topics such as Xanthobilirubic acid that cross with problems in Total synthesis. His Hydrogen bond study incorporates themes from Lactam, Intramolecular force, Pyrrole and Nuclear Overhauser effect. His study in Intramolecular force is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crystallography, Steric effects and Molecule.

His most cited work include:

  • `Like a Shrivelled Blood Orange'—Bilirubin, Jaundice, and Phototherapy (156 citations)
  • Bilirubin conformational analysis and circular dichroism (147 citations)
  • Organic conformational analysis and stereochemistry from circular dichroism spectroscopy (132 citations)

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

David A. Lightner mainly investigates Stereochemistry, Circular dichroism, Bilirubin, Hydrogen bond and Crystallography. His Circular dichroism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chirality and Chromophore. His Bilirubin research integrates issues from Photochemistry, Pigment, Organic chemistry and Jaundice.

David A. Lightner interconnects Quantum yield, Fluorescence and Chloroform in the investigation of issues within Photochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Hydrogen bond brings together such families of science as Hydrogen, Intramolecular force, Crystal structure and Medicinal chemistry. The Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Carboxylic acid and Carbon-13 NMR.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (34.57%)
  • Circular dichroism (25.80%)
  • Bilirubin (23.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Hydrogen bond (22.61%)
  • Stereochemistry (34.57%)
  • Organic chemistry (19.95%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Hydrogen bond, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Crystallography and Circular dichroism. His Hydrogen bond research incorporates themes from Hydrogen, Intramolecular force, Carboxylic acid and Medicinal chemistry. His Stereochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bilirubin, Ketone, Supramolecular chemistry and Chemical synthesis.

His Bilirubin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dimethyl ester and Metabolism. His studies in Crystallography integrate themes in fields like Substituent, Intermolecular force and Bathochromic shift. His Circular dichroism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Benzoic acid, Chirality and Density functional theory.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Helical Sense-Responsive and Substituent-Sensitive Features in Vibrational and Electronic Circular Dichroism, in Circularly Polarized Luminescence, and in Raman Spectra of Some Simple Optically Active Hexahelicenes (94 citations)
  • Experimental and Calculated CPL Spectra and Related Spectroscopic Data of Camphor and Other Simple Chiral Bicyclic Ketones (42 citations)
  • Bicamphor: a prototypic molecular system to investigate vibrational excitons. (33 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Oxygen

His primary scientific interests are in Vibrational circular dichroism, Stereochemistry, Circular dichroism, Density functional theory and Analytical chemistry. Vibrational circular dichroism is a primary field of his research addressed under Crystallography. As part of the same scientific family, David A. Lightner usually focuses on Crystallography, concentrating on Bathochromic shift and intersecting with Cyclohexane.

David A. Lightner has included themes like Molecule, Hydrogen bond and Chemical synthesis in his Stereochemistry study. His Circular dichroism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Luminescence, Benzoic acid and Fluorescence. In his study, Bilirubin and Metabolism is inextricably linked to Alkyl, which falls within the broad field of Intramolecular force.
