Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Herbert Mayr spends much of his time researching Nucleophile, Organic chemistry, Electrophile, Medicinal chemistry and Reaction rate constant. His work deals with themes such as Carbocation, Reactivity, Ion, Carbanion and Computational chemistry, which intersect with Nucleophile. He interconnects Solvent effects, Hydride, Addition reaction and Reaction mechanism in the investigation of issues within Carbocation.

His research investigates the link between Electrophile and topics such as Organocatalysis that cross with problems in DABCO and Iminium. Herbert Mayr studied Medicinal chemistry and Enol that intersect with Ketene. While the research belongs to areas of Reaction rate constant, he spends his time largely on the problem of Inorganic chemistry, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Aliphatic compound.

His most cited work include:

  • π-Nucleophilicity in Carbon−Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions (707 citations)
  • Reference Scales for the Characterization of Cationic Electrophiles and Neutral Nucleophiles (462 citations)
  • Scales of Nucleophilicity and Electrophilicity: A System for Ordering Polar Organic and Organometallic Reactions (438 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Medicinal chemistry, Nucleophile, Organic chemistry, Electrophile and Reaction rate constant. His studies examine the connections between Medicinal chemistry and genetics, as well as such issues in Enol, with regards to Silylation and Ketene. His work in Nucleophile tackles topics such as Carbocation which are related to areas like Reaction mechanism.

Herbert Mayr has researched Electrophile in several fields, including Iminium, Hydride and Organocatalysis. His research integrates issues of Ion, Inorganic chemistry, Acetonitrile and Solvolysis in his study of Reaction rate constant. The various areas that Herbert Mayr examines in his Aliphatic compound study include Hydrocarbon and Addition reaction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (38.29%)
  • Nucleophile (32.31%)
  • Organic chemistry (31.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Nucleophile (32.31%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (38.29%)
  • Electrophile (26.17%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Nucleophile, Medicinal chemistry, Electrophile, Reaction rate constant and Organic chemistry. His study in Nucleophile is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Equilibrium constant, Flash photolysis, Carbanion, Aryl and Quinone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ether, Acetonitrile and Michael reaction in addition to Medicinal chemistry.

His Electrophile research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carbocation, Iminium, Organocatalysis, Reactivity and Computational chemistry. His Carbocation research includes elements of Moiety and Hydride. His Reaction rate constant study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ion, Photochemistry, Inorganic chemistry and Lewis acids and bases.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nucleophilicity parameters of pyridinium ylides and their use in mechanistic analyses. (78 citations)
  • Towards a Comprehensive Hydride Donor Ability Scale (71 citations)
  • Quantification and Theoretical Analysis of the Electrophilicities of Michael Acceptors (69 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Nucleophile, Electrophile, Medicinal chemistry, Reaction rate constant and Organic chemistry. Herbert Mayr combines subjects such as Ion and Carbanion with his study of Nucleophile. His research in Ion intersects with topics in Stereochemistry and Carbocation.
