Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Robert S. Paton spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Computational chemistry, Organic chemistry, Nucleophile and Distortion. In his study, Chemical reaction and Supramolecular chemistry is strongly linked to Catalysis, which falls under the umbrella field of Stereochemistry. His Computational chemistry research incorporates themes from Selectivity, Oxidation reduction, Cascade and Mechanism.

His work on Lignin, Reactivity and Selenocysteine as part of general Organic chemistry study is frequently connected to Chemical kinetics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research integrates issues of Aryne, Density functional theory, Pyrrole and Regioselectivity in his study of Nucleophile. His work is dedicated to discovering how Combinatorial chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis are connected with Stereoselectivity and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Computational Study of Bond Dissociation Enthalpies for a Large Range of Native and Modified Lignins (193 citations)
  • A Mechanistic Investigation of Acid-Catalyzed Cleavage of Aryl-Ether Linkages: Implications for Lignin Depolymerization in Acidic Environments (187 citations)
  • Indolyne and aryne distortions and nucleophilic regioselectivites. (150 citations)

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

Robert S. Paton mainly focuses on Stereochemistry, Catalysis, Computational chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis and Combinatorial chemistry. His Stereochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Selectivity, Stereoselectivity and Asymmetric induction. His Catalysis study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry, Steric effects and Hydrogen bond.

His Computational chemistry research integrates issues from Natural product, Molecule, Ring and Nucleophile. The various areas that he examines in his Enantioselective synthesis study include Enantiomer and Ligand. His study looks at the relationship between Combinatorial chemistry and topics such as Reagent, which overlap with Reactivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (30.56%)
  • Catalysis (30.09%)
  • Computational chemistry (26.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Combinatorial chemistry (18.98%)
  • Molecule (14.35%)
  • Catalysis (30.09%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Combinatorial chemistry, Molecule, Catalysis, Medicinal chemistry and Enantioselective synthesis. His work in Combinatorial chemistry tackles topics such as Reagent which are related to areas like Reactivity and Phosphine. His Molecule research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrogen atom abstraction, Toluene and Density functional theory.

His research combines Boronic acid and Catalysis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ammonium, Inorganic chemistry, Phase, Ionic bonding and Alkali metal in addition to Enantioselective synthesis. As part of one scientific family, Robert S. Paton deals mainly with the area of Pyridine, narrowing it down to issues related to the Halogenation, and often Stereochemistry.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fundamental principles of epidemic spread highlight the immediate need for large-scale serological surveys to assess the stage of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (144 citations)
  • Estimating false-negative detection rate of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR (82 citations)
  • Neutralising antibodies to SARS coronavirus 2 in Scottish blood donors - a pilot study of the value of serology to determine population exposure (43 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Robert S. Paton mainly investigates Catalysis, Combinatorial chemistry, Virus, Hydrogen bond and Ionic bonding. The concepts of his Catalysis study are interwoven with issues in Reactivity, Coordination complex and Substrate. Robert S. Paton has researched Combinatorial chemistry in several fields, including Reagent, Surface modification, Meta-, Regioselectivity and Sonogashira coupling.

His Virus research includes elements of Serology, Antibody and Outbreak. His Hydrogen bond research includes themes of Ammonium, Enantioselective synthesis, Inorganic chemistry, Phase and Alkali metal. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Seroepidemiologic Studies and Seroprevalence.
