Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of investigation include Crystal structure, Crystallography, Molecule, Stereochemistry and Medicinal chemistry. His Crystal structure research includes elements of X-ray crystallography, Platinum and Phenanthroline. His Monoclinic crystal system study in the realm of Crystallography interacts with subjects such as X-ray.

His study in Molecule is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Orthorhombic crystal system, Polymer chemistry, Dimer, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Crystal. The Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Conformational isomerism, Adduct, Triclinic crystal system and Hydrogen bond. His research in Medicinal chemistry intersects with topics in Carboxylic acid, Reactivity, Organoplatinum, Oxidative addition and Aryl.

His most cited work include:

  • Synthesis, x-ray crystal structures, and cation-binding properties of alkyl calixaryl esters and ketones, a new family of macrocyclic molecular receptors (497 citations)
  • Chemically modified calix[4]arenes. Regioselective synthesis of 1,3-(distal) derivatives and related compounds. X-Ray crystal structure of a diphenol-dinitrile (243 citations)
  • Structure and solution stability of indium and gallium complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononanetriacetate and of yttrium complexes of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetate and related ligands: kinetically stable complexes for use in imaging and radioimmunotherapy. X-Ray molecular structure of the indium and gallium complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (115 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Crystal structure, Stereochemistry, Molecule, Crystallography and Medicinal chemistry. His study in Crystal structure is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both X-ray crystallography, Inorganic compound, Platinum and Ether. His Ring research extends to the thematically linked field of Stereochemistry.

He works mostly in the field of Molecule, limiting it down to topics relating to Crystal and, in certain cases, Polymer chemistry, as a part of the same area of interest. His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inorganic chemistry and Ligand. His Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Organic chemistry and Palladium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Crystal structure (59.13%)
  • Stereochemistry (55.57%)
  • Molecule (54.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2012)?

  • Stereochemistry (55.57%)
  • Crystal structure (59.13%)
  • Crystallography (52.18%)

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

His primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Crystal structure, Crystallography, Molecule and Hydrogen bond. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ion, Medicinal chemistry and Carbene. He focuses mostly in the field of Crystal structure, narrowing it down to matters related to Tetra and, in some cases, Boron and Decane.

He has included themes like Carboxylate, Stacking and Ring in his Crystallography study. His Molecule research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrate, Diamine, Crystal and Amine gas treating. His Hydrogen bond study also includes

  • Adduct and related Phenols and Polymer chemistry,
  • Supramolecular chemistry, which have a strong connection to Cyclophane.

Between 1997 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Crystal Engineering Using Bis- and Tris-phenols. Adducts with 1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane (Cyclam): Isolated Ladders in the Adduct with 4,4'-Thiodiphenol, Tethered Ladders in the Adduct with 4,4'-Sulfonyldiphenol and Two Interwoven Three-Dimensional Networks in the Adduct with 1,1,1-Tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane (74 citations)
  • Crystal engineering using bisphenols and trisphenols. Complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline: hydrogen-bonded chains in adducts with 4,4'-biphenol (1/1) and 4,4'-sulfonyldiphenol (2/3), π‒π stacked chains in the (1/2) adduct with 4,4'-thiodiphenol, and pairwise-interwoven nets in 1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane‒1,10-phenanthroline‒methanol (1/1/1) (37 citations)
  • Salts of maleic and fumaric acids with organic polyamines: comparison of isomeric acids as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. (37 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary scientific interests are in Stereochemistry, Molecule, Crystallography, Hydrogen bond and Crystal structure. His studies deal with areas such as Thermogravimetric analysis, Crystallization, Medicinal chemistry and Alkyl as well as Stereochemistry. His study in the field of Bond length also crosses realms of Differential scanning calorimetry.

His Crystallography research incorporates themes from Coordination geometry, Calixarene, Organic anion and Ligand. His Hydrogen bond research includes elements of Supramolecular chemistry, Bicyclic molecule, Adduct and Diamine. His work on Triclinic crystal system as part of general Crystal structure study is frequently linked to Acceptor, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
