Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

Kurt Schaffner focuses on Photochemistry, Chlorosome, Bacteriochlorophyll, Photosynthetic bacteria and Supramolecular chemistry. Kurt Schaffner has researched Photochemistry in several fields, including Circular dichroism, Excited state, Singlet state, Photodynamic therapy and Kinetics. His studies in Kinetics integrate themes in fields like Native protein and Chromophore.

His Chlorosome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Chloroflexus aurantiacus, Chlorin, Crystallography, Biophysics and Hydrogen bond. Kurt Schaffner has included themes like Chlorobium tepidum, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Double bond in his Crystallography study. His Supramolecular chemistry research integrates issues from Self-assembly and Zinc.

His most cited work include:

  • Synthetic Zinc and Magnesium Chlorin Aggregates as Models for Supramolecular Antenna Complexes in Chlorosomes of Green Photosynthetic Bacteria (265 citations)
  • On the structure of bacteriochlorophyll molecular aggregates in the chlorosomes of green bacteria. A molecular modelling study (182 citations)
  • A refined model of the chlorosomal antennae of the green bacterium Chlorobium tepidum from proton chemical shift constraints obtained with high-field 2-D and 3-D MAS NMR dipolar correlation spectroscopy. (111 citations)

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

His main research concerns Photochemistry, Stereochemistry, Chromophore, Excited state and Analytical chemistry. His Photochemistry research includes themes of Quantum yield, Singlet state, Flash photolysis and Chlorosome. His work deals with themes such as Supramolecular chemistry, Crystallography and Chloroflexus aurantiacus, which intersect with Chlorosome.

Kurt Schaffner interconnects Self-assembly and Zinc in the investigation of issues within Supramolecular chemistry. His Chromophore study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Photochromism and Raman spectroscopy. His Analytical chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Reaction rate constant and Kinetic isotope effect.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photochemistry (48.73%)
  • Stereochemistry (16.24%)
  • Chromophore (15.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2008)?

  • Photochemistry (48.73%)
  • Chromophore (15.74%)
  • Stereochemistry (16.24%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photochemistry, Chromophore, Stereochemistry, Phycocyanobilin and Molecule. The concepts of his Photochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Supramolecular chemistry, Zinc, Adduct, Bacteriochlorophyll and Kinetics. His studies examine the connections between Zinc and genetics, as well as such issues in Aqueous solution, with regards to Self-assembly, Photosynthetic bacteria and Chlorosome.

The Bacteriochlorophyll study combines topics in areas such as Crystallography, Dimer and Polymer chemistry. He combines subjects such as Amino acid, Raman spectroscopy, Analytical chemistry and Photochromism with his study of Chromophore. His study in the field of Circular dichroism is also linked to topics like Substitution.

Between 1997 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • A refined model of the chlorosomal antennae of the green bacterium Chlorobium tepidum from proton chemical shift constraints obtained with high-field 2-D and 3-D MAS NMR dipolar correlation spectroscopy. (111 citations)
  • Energy Transfer in Supramolecular Artificial Antennae Units of Synthetic Zinc Chlorins and Co-aggregated Energy Traps. A Time-Resolved Fluorescence Study†,‡ (65 citations)
  • Autocatalyzed Self-Aggregation of (31R)-[Et,Et]Bacteriochlorophyll cF Molecules in Nonpolar Solvents. Analysis of the Kinetics (65 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photochemistry, Chlorosome, Chlorobium tepidum, Bacteriochlorophyll and Biophysics. Photochromism is the focus of his Photochemistry research. His Chlorosome study incorporates themes from Crystallography and Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

His study in Chlorobium tepidum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Absorption, Molecule, Induction period and Dichloromethane. His work carried out in the field of Bacteriochlorophyll brings together such families of science as Hexane, Tetrahydrofuran, Chlorin, Polymer chemistry and Dimer. His Supramolecular chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Self-assembly and Circular dichroism.
