Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Hydrogen

His scientific interests lie mostly in Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Photochemistry and Carbene. His Medicinal chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Denticity, Crystal structure, Pincer movement, Reactivity and Derivative. His Stereochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crystallography and Macrocyclic ligand, Molecule, Ligand.

His Photochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Luminescence, Radical and Phosphorescence. Michael J. Ferguson combines subjects such as Hydride, Cycloaddition, Rhodium, Metalation and Mesoionic with his study of Carbene. His studies in Hydride integrate themes in fields like Carbon group and Polymer chemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Stabilization of the heavy methylene analogues, GeH2 and SnH2, within the coordination sphere of a transition metal. (124 citations)
  • Donor/acceptor stabilization of Ge(II) dihydride (112 citations)
  • Coaxing Solid‐State Phosphorescence from Tellurophenes (105 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Ligand, Organic chemistry and Catalysis. His study on Medicinal chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Carbene that connect with fields like Hydride,
  • Adduct together with Lewis acids and bases. The Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Indene, Chelation, Rhodium, Methylene and Coordination complex.

His research investigates the connection between Ligand and topics such as Crystallography that intersect with problems in Metal. His study looks at the relationship between Organic chemistry and fields such as Polymer chemistry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Within one scientific family, Michael J. Ferguson focuses on topics pertaining to Aryl under Catalysis, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Electrophile.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (41.61%)
  • Stereochemistry (26.45%)
  • Ligand (20.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Medicinal chemistry (41.61%)
  • Catalysis (14.52%)
  • Ligand (20.32%)

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

Medicinal chemistry, Catalysis, Ligand, Organic chemistry and Carbene are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Steric effects, Stereochemistry, Adduct, Reactivity and Phosphine in addition to Medicinal chemistry. He has included themes like Frustrated Lewis pair and Lewis acids and bases in his Adduct study.

His Catalysis research includes themes of Combinatorial chemistry, Aryl and Nickel. His Ligand study also includes fields such as

  • Olefin fiber, which have a strong connection to Polymer chemistry,
  • Cationic polymerization that intertwine with fields like Oxidative addition and Antimony. His Carbene research includes elements of Crystallography, Zinc, Dimer and Metal.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Challenging nickel-catalysed amine arylations enabled by tailored ancillary ligand design (52 citations)
  • Improved synthesis of N-heterocyclic olefins and evaluation of their donor strengths (50 citations)
  • Diazaphospholene Precatalysts for Imine and Conjugate Reductions (43 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Hydrogen

His primary areas of study are Medicinal chemistry, Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Aryl and Carbene. His research in Medicinal chemistry intersects with topics in Boron, Olefin fiber, Ligand, Reactivity and Main group element. He focuses mostly in the field of Catalysis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Hydride and, in certain cases, Polymer chemistry.

His study in the field of Yield, Furfurylamine and Natural product is also linked to topics like Field and Conjugate. His Carbene research incorporates elements of Adduct, Steric effects, Stereochemistry and Lithium. His work carried out in the field of Stereochemistry brings together such families of science as Crystallography, Rhodium, NMR spectra database, Bond formation and Density functional theory.
