1956 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Quantum mechanics

His primary areas of investigation include Crystallography, Molecule, Electron diffraction, Bond length and Molecular symmetry. His work deals with themes such as Composition, Hydrogen bond and 2-Fluoroethanol, which intersect with Crystallography. In general Molecule study, his work on Molecular geometry often relates to the realm of Gauche effect, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Electron diffraction research incorporates elements of Amplitude, Molecular physics, Intensity and Symmetry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Single bond and Bond energy in addition to Bond length. His study in Molecular symmetry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Staggered conformation, Scattering, Eclipsed conformation, Cyclooctatetraene and Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry.

His most cited work include:

  • Bond lengths in free molecules of buckminsterfullerene, c60, from gas-phase electron diffraction. (499 citations)
  • The Molecular Structure of Disiloxane, (SiH3)2O. (191 citations)
  • Least‐squares refinement of molecular structures from gaseous electron‐diffraction sector‐microphotometer data. III. Refinement of cyclopropane (162 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Electron diffraction, Molecule, Crystallography, Gas phase and Bond length. The Electron diffraction study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Ab initio, Molecular orbital and Analytical chemistry. His study in Molecule focuses on Molecular geometry in particular.

He has included themes like Inorganic compound and Gas electron diffraction in his Molecular geometry study. His work in Crystallography addresses issues such as Conformational isomerism, which are connected to fields such as Oxalyl chloride. His Molecular physics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Rotational spectroscopy and Force field.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Electron diffraction (60.40%)
  • Molecule (59.60%)
  • Crystallography (45.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2019)?

  • Electron diffraction (60.40%)
  • Molecule (59.60%)
  • Crystallography (45.20%)

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

Kenneth Hedberg mainly focuses on Electron diffraction, Molecule, Crystallography, Bond length and Molecular orbital. The concepts of his Electron diffraction study are interwoven with issues in Spiropentane, Molecular geometry and Physical chemistry. His Rotational spectroscopy study in the realm of Molecule interacts with subjects such as Internal rotation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Single bond, Oxalyl chloride, Fluorine, Hydrogen bond and Double bond. His Bond length research integrates issues from Molecular physics, Basis set and Infrared spectroscopy. His study on Molecular orbital also encompasses disciplines like

  • Conformational isomerism that intertwine with fields like Stereochemistry,
  • Ab initio together with Ab initio quantum chemistry methods.

Between 1999 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Conformational analysis. I. Molecular structure, composition, trans-gauche energy and entropy differences, and potential hindering internal rotation of gaseous oxalyl chloride as determined by electron diffraction (68 citations)
  • Gas-Phase Molecular Structures of Third Row Transition-Metal Hexafluorides WF6, ReF6, OsF6, IrF6, and PtF6. An Electron-Diffraction and ab Initio Study (23 citations)
  • Gas-Phase Molecular Structure of Decachlorocorannulene, C20Cl10. An Electron-Diffraction Study Augmented by ab Initio, DFT, and Normal Coordinate Calculations (22 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Quantum mechanics

Kenneth Hedberg mostly deals with Molecule, Electron diffraction, Crystallography, Gas phase and Ab initio. His Molecule research includes elements of Yield, Composition and Computational chemistry. His Electron diffraction study incorporates themes from Rotational spectroscopy, Oxalyl chloride, Molecular geometry and Physical chemistry.

His Bond length study, which is part of a larger body of work in Crystallography, is frequently linked to Internal rotation and Gauche effect, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Corannulene and Ring as well as Bond length. The Ab initio study combines topics in areas such as Ab initio quantum chemistry methods and Molecular orbital.
