Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Quantum mechanics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Computational chemistry, Molecular mechanics, Force field, Molecule and Standard enthalpy of formation. The concepts of his Computational chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Molecular physics, Ab initio, Hydrogen bond, Ketone and Moment of inertia. His work in Hydrogen bond addresses issues such as Potential energy surface, which are connected to fields such as Stereochemistry.

His Molecular mechanics study deals with Classical mechanics intersecting with Force constant. His Force field research incorporates elements of Chemical physics, Crambin, Energy minimization and Hydrocarbon. Norman L. Allinger combines subjects such as Combinatorial chemistry, Dipole and Hexamethylbenzene with his study of Molecule.

His most cited work include:

  • Conformational analysis—CI (953 citations)
  • Conformational analysis. LXIX. Improved force field for the calculation of the structures and energies of hydrocarbons (311 citations)
  • A molecular mechanics force field (MM3) for alcohols and ethers (280 citations)

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

Norman L. Allinger mainly focuses on Computational chemistry, Molecular mechanics, Stereochemistry, Molecule and Force field. His Computational chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Ab initio quantum chemistry methods, Dipole, Standard enthalpy of formation and Ab initio. The Molecular mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Vibrational spectra and Physical chemistry.

His study connects Ring and Stereochemistry. His work on Bond length and Conformational isomerism is typically connected to Electron diffraction as part of general Molecule study, connecting several disciplines of science. Norman L. Allinger interconnects Molecular physics and Moment of inertia in the investigation of issues within Force field.

  • Anomeric effect together with Furanose and Pyranose.

Between 1991 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • An improved force field (MM4) for saturated hydrocarbons (264 citations)
  • Molecular mechanics parameters (247 citations)
  • Encyclopedia of computational chemistry (161 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Molecule
  • Quantum mechanics

Norman L. Allinger mostly deals with Computational chemistry, Force field, Molecular mechanics, Ab initio and Standard enthalpy of formation. His Annulene study in the realm of Computational chemistry interacts with subjects such as Stability. His Force field research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular physics, Stereochemistry, Moment of inertia and Amide.

His Molecular mechanics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ether, Bent molecular geometry and Polymer science. In his work, Bond dipole moment, Atom, Water dimer and Physical chemistry is strongly intertwined with Quantum, which is a subfield of Ab initio. Norman L. Allinger has included themes like Molecule and Molecular model in his Standard enthalpy of formation study.
