Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Catalysis, Transfer hydrogenation, Organic chemistry, Ruthenium and Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation. His work in Catalysis covers topics such as Formic acid which are related to areas like Hydrogen and Triethylamine. His Transfer hydrogenation research incorporates themes from Combinatorial chemistry, Polymer chemistry and Imine.

He studies Organic chemistry, focusing on Borane in particular. Martin Wills combines subjects such as Asymmetric hydrogenation, Dimer and Base with his study of Ruthenium. His work carried out in the field of Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation brings together such families of science as Ketone, Enantiomer, Medicinal chemistry and Photochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of C=O and C=N bonds (555 citations)
  • Hydrogen generation from formic acid and alcohols using homogeneous catalysts (476 citations)
  • A new class of "tethered" ruthenium(II) catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions. (206 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Transfer hydrogenation, Enantioselective synthesis and Medicinal chemistry. The concepts of his Catalysis study are interwoven with issues in Combinatorial chemistry, Ketone, Polymer chemistry and Formic acid. Martin Wills has included themes like Hydrogen and Triethylamine in his Formic acid study.

His research on Transfer hydrogenation concerns the broader Ruthenium. His studies in Enantioselective synthesis integrate themes in fields like Intramolecular force, Allylic rearrangement and Hydrosilylation. His study focuses on the intersection of Medicinal chemistry and fields such as Stereochemistry with connections in the field of Stereoselectivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (50.18%)
  • Organic chemistry (42.40%)
  • Transfer hydrogenation (39.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Catalysis (50.18%)
  • Transfer hydrogenation (39.58%)
  • Combinatorial chemistry (22.61%)

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

Martin Wills mostly deals with Catalysis, Transfer hydrogenation, Combinatorial chemistry, Medicinal chemistry and Organic chemistry. While the research belongs to areas of Catalysis, he spends his time largely on the problem of Amine gas treating, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Diamine. His Transfer hydrogenation study is associated with Ruthenium.

His Combinatorial chemistry study incorporates themes from Yield, Reagent, Denticity, Enantioselective synthesis and Substrate. The various areas that Martin Wills examines in his Medicinal chemistry study include Alkyne, Acetophenone, Steric effects and Biphenyl. Martin Wills works in the field of Organic chemistry, namely Alcohol.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • C-N bond formation between alcohols and amines using an iron cyclopentadienone catalyst. (121 citations)
  • Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation by synthetic catalysts in cancer cells (76 citations)
  • The Development of Phosphine-Free "Tethered" Ruthenium(II) Catalysts for the Asymmetric Reduction of Ketones and Imines. (47 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of investigation include Catalysis, Transfer hydrogenation, Organic chemistry, Combinatorial chemistry and Polymer chemistry. His studies in Transfer hydrogenation integrate themes in fields like Aryl, Asymmetric hydrogenation, Sodium formate and Medicinal chemistry. The various areas that Martin Wills examines in his Asymmetric hydrogenation study include Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation, Ruthenium and Phosphine.

The Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Enantiomeric excess, Alkyne, Ring and Steric effects. His Cyclopentadienone and Amine gas treating investigations are all subjects of Organic chemistry research. Martin Wills has researched Combinatorial chemistry in several fields, including Hydrogen and Enantioselective synthesis.
