Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Gerhard Erker spends much of his time researching Medicinal chemistry, Frustrated Lewis pair, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry and Lewis acids and bases. Gerhard Erker has included themes like Toluene, Electron pair, Cyclopentadienyl complex and Phosphonium in his Medicinal chemistry study. His Frustrated Lewis pair study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydroboration, Conjugated system, Borane, Photochemistry and Intramolecular force.

His Stereochemistry study incorporates themes from Yield, Crystal structure, Adduct, Molecule and Metallocene. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Organic chemistry, Group, Moiety, Metal and Carbon monoxide is strongly linked to Polymer chemistry. Gerhard Erker interconnects Steric effects and Double bond in the investigation of issues within Lewis acids and bases.

His most cited work include:

  • Frustrated Lewis pairs: metal-free hydrogen activation and more. (1322 citations)
  • Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry: development and perspectives. (830 citations)
  • Frustrierte Lewis‐Paare: metallfreie Wasserstoffaktivierung und mehr (495 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Metallocene and Frustrated Lewis pair. His work deals with themes such as Yield, Ligand, Lewis acids and bases, Borane and Adduct, which intersect with Medicinal chemistry. Gerhard Erker works mostly in the field of Stereochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Crystal structure and, in certain cases, Molecule.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Carbene and Zirconium. His Frustrated Lewis pair research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Conjugated system, Photochemistry, Intramolecular force and Phosphonium. His Catalysis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Polymerization and Polymer chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (39.82%)
  • Stereochemistry (29.74%)
  • Organic chemistry (22.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Frustrated Lewis pair (17.01%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (39.82%)
  • Borane (13.65%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Frustrated Lewis pair, Medicinal chemistry, Borane, Stereochemistry and Lewis acids and bases. His Frustrated Lewis pair research incorporates elements of Photochemistry, Adduct, Intramolecular force and Phosphonium. His studies in Medicinal chemistry integrate themes in fields like Reagent, Organic chemistry, Boron, Hydride and Carbon monoxide.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Hydroboration, Cycloaddition, Boranes, Polymer chemistry and Electron pair in addition to Borane. The various areas that Gerhard Erker examines in his Stereochemistry study include Yield, Alkyne and Double bond. His Lewis acids and bases research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pyridine, Conjugated system, Thiophene, Moiety and Nucleophile.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry: development and perspectives. (830 citations)
  • Chemie frustrierter Lewis‐Paare: Entwicklung und Perspektiven (330 citations)
  • Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur oxides (232 citations)
