Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary scientific interests are in Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Metathesis, Polymer chemistry and Stereochemistry. He has included themes like Olefin metathesis, Ring-closing metathesis, Molybdenum and Ring in his Catalysis study. His study looks at the relationship between Metathesis and fields such as Tungsten, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His research integrates issues of Copolymer, Ring-opening polymerization, Polymerization and Polymer in his study of Polymer chemistry. His Stereochemistry research integrates issues from Medicinal chemistry, Crystallography, Crystal structure, Alkoxide and Carbene. His Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ligand and Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry.

His most cited work include:

  • Molybdenum and tungsten imido alkylidene complexes as efficient olefin-metathesis catalysts. (867 citations)
  • Catalytic Reduction of Dinitrogen to Ammonia at a Single Molybdenum Center (830 citations)
  • Synthesis of molybdenum imido alkylidene complexes and some reactions involving acyclic olefins (772 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Catalysis, Medicinal chemistry, Polymer chemistry, Molybdenum and Metathesis. His Catalysis study is focused on Organic chemistry in general. The Medicinal chemistry study which covers Stereochemistry that intersects with Crystallography, Crystal structure, Molecule, Metal and Carbene.

His study on Polymer chemistry also encompasses disciplines like

  • Polymerization which connect with Monomer,
  • Ring-opening metathesis polymerisation, which have a strong connection to Acyclic diene metathesis. In his study, Photochemistry is inextricably linked to Tungsten, which falls within the broad field of Molybdenum. His work deals with themes such as Alkene, Olefin fiber, Reactivity and Stereoselectivity, which intersect with Metathesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (32.89%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (25.09%)
  • Polymer chemistry (24.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Catalysis (32.89%)
  • Metathesis (23.65%)
  • Molybdenum (24.01%)

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

Richard R. Schrock mostly deals with Catalysis, Metathesis, Molybdenum, Medicinal chemistry and Tungsten. His Catalysis study deals with the bigger picture of Organic chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Alkene and Stereoselectivity as well as Metathesis.

His work in Molybdenum addresses subjects such as Polymer chemistry, which are connected to disciplines such as Polymer and Norbornene. Richard R. Schrock combines subjects such as Yield, Steric effects, Ligand and Ethylene with his study of Medicinal chemistry. His work focuses on many connections between Tungsten and other disciplines, such as Photochemistry, that overlap with his field of interest in Silylation.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond fossil fuel-driven nitrogen transformations. (329 citations)
  • Synthesis of stereoregular polymers through ring-opening metathesis polymerization. (115 citations)
  • Efficient and Selective Formation of Macrocyclic Disubstituted Z Alkenes by Ring‐Closing Metathesis (RCM) Reactions Catalyzed by Mo‐ or W‐Based Monoaryloxide Pyrrolide (MAP) Complexes: Applications to Total Syntheses of Epilachnene, Yuzu Lactone, Ambrettolide, Epothilone C, and Nakadomarin A (82 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Richard R. Schrock mainly investigates Metathesis, Catalysis, Molybdenum, Organic chemistry and Polymer chemistry. His Metathesis research includes elements of Alkene, Stereochemistry, Ring and Stereoselectivity. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Olefin metathesis and Enantioselective synthesis.

The Catalysis study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry and Medicinal chemistry. His study looks at the relationship between Molybdenum and topics such as Tungsten, which overlap with Ethylene.
