Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

K. Peter C. Vollhardt mostly deals with Cobalt, Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Cycloaddition and Stereochemistry. His Cobalt study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry, Alkyne, Medicinal chemistry and Nickel. His work on Fulvalene as part of his general Photochemistry study is frequently connected to Solar energy, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Catalysis research incorporates elements of Molecule, Phenylene, Ring and Polymer chemistry. K. Peter C. Vollhardt combines subjects such as Intramolecular force, Alkene, Cyclohexadienes, Total synthesis and Stereoselectivity with his study of Cycloaddition. His Stereochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Delocalized electron, Crystallography, Crystal structure, Ligand and Ab initio.

His most cited work include:

  • Cobalt‐Mediated [2 + 2 + 2]‐Cycloadditions: A Maturing Synthetic Strategy [New Synthetic Methods (43)] (561 citations)
  • On the Nature of Nonplanarity in the [N]Phenylenes (302 citations)
  • Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function (276 citations)

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

K. Peter C. Vollhardt mainly focuses on Medicinal chemistry, Organic chemistry, Cobalt, Stereochemistry and Catalysis. His work carried out in the field of Medicinal chemistry brings together such families of science as Alkyne, Ring, Regioselectivity and Double bond. The Cobalt study combines topics in areas such as Intramolecular force, Cycloaddition, Polymer chemistry and Cyclopentadienyl complex.

His Cycloaddition research integrates issues from Cyclohexadienes and Stereoselectivity. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Phenylene, Ligand and Crystal structure. K. Peter C. Vollhardt has included themes like Steric effects and Nickel in his Catalysis study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (30.51%)
  • Organic chemistry (27.94%)
  • Cobalt (24.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Cycloaddition (17.28%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (30.51%)
  • Organic chemistry (27.94%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cycloaddition, Medicinal chemistry, Organic chemistry, Photochemistry and Cobalt. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intermolecular force, Dimer, Antiaromaticity, Stereochemistry and Cyclohexadienes. His studies in Medicinal chemistry integrate themes in fields like Triple bond, Ring and Palladium.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Organic chemistry, Pyridine is strongly linked to Polymer chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Ab initio quantum chemistry methods, Singlet state, Cyclobutadiene and Isomerization, which intersect with Photochemistry. His research integrates issues of Alkyne, Transition metal and Double bond in his study of Cobalt.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cobalt-Catalyzed Cyclotrimerization of Alkynes: The Answer to the Puzzle of Parallel Reaction Pathways (123 citations)
  • Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage and release system (102 citations)
  • Cobalt-mediated cyclic and linear 2:1 cooligomerization of alkynes with alkenes: a DFT study. (73 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His main research concerns Photochemistry, Cycloaddition, Cobalt, Computational chemistry and Fulvalene. He works mostly in the field of Photochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Infrared spectroscopy and, in certain cases, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Time-resolved spectroscopy, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in Cycloaddition is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stereochemistry and Cyclohexadienes.

His Cobalt research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alkyne and Singlet state. His Computational chemistry study incorporates themes from Ab initio quantum chemistry methods, Isomerization and Transition state. His Isomerization research is included under the broader classification of Catalysis.
