Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Molecule
  • Hydrogen

His primary scientific interests are in Atomic physics, Molecular orbital, Hydrogen bond, Molecule and Computational chemistry. His Atomic physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Multiplet, Electronegativity and Atomic orbital. His work carried out in the field of Hydrogen bond brings together such families of science as Bond length, Bond order, Electron donor and Ab initio quantum chemistry methods.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Chemical bond and Bond energy in addition to Bond order. His Molecule research incorporates themes from Ab initio and Wave function. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Computational chemistry, focusing on Proton and, on occasion, Chemical shift, Basis set, Carbon-13 NMR and Perturbation theory.

His most cited work include:

  • Theory of the hydrogen bond (544 citations)
  • Electronegativity is the average one-electron energy of the valence-shell electrons in ground-state free atoms (442 citations)
  • Electronic Structure and Inversion Barrier of Ammonia (192 citations)

Leland C. Allen spends much of his time researching Computational chemistry, Electronegativity, Atomic physics, Crystallography and Electronic structure. His research in Computational chemistry intersects with topics in Chemical physics, Electronic correlation, Chemical bond and Statistical physics. His Electronegativity research includes elements of Chemistry and Physical chemistry.

He has researched Atomic physics in several fields, including Valence electron, Electron configuration, Electron and Atomic orbital. His study in Crystallography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bond length, Bent bond, Group, Sextuple bond and Hydrogen bond. His research on Electronic structure also deals with topics like

  • Ab initio quantum chemistry methods which connect with Propellane, Molecular orbital and Thermodynamics,
  • Ab initio that connect with fields like Polyatomic ion.

Between 1986 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Electronegativity is the average one-electron energy of the valence-shell electrons in ground-state free atoms (442 citations)
  • Configuration Energies of the Main Group Elements (128 citations)
  • Configuration Energies of the d-Block Elements (114 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule

Electronegativity, Computational chemistry, Atomic physics, Ab initio quantum chemistry methods and Physical chemistry are his primary areas of study.
