Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

Vivian Wing-Wah Yam mainly focuses on Luminescence, Photochemistry, Crystallography, Platinum and Ligand. Her Luminescence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inorganic chemistry, Crystal structure, Metal, Ion and Phosphine. Her Photochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Redox, Molecule and Rhenium.

Her Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Triple bond, Intermolecular force, Stacking, Stereochemistry and Photoluminescence. Vivian Wing-Wah Yam combines subjects such as Terpyridine, Polymer chemistry, Circular dichroism, Self-assembly and Copper with her study of Platinum. Her Ligand study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Absorption, Pyridine and Butyronitrile.

Her most cited work include:

  • Luminescent polynuclear d10 metal complexes (1029 citations)
  • Light-Emitting Self-Assembled Materials Based on d(8) and d(10) Transition Metal Complexes. (850 citations)
  • Solvent-Induced Aggregation through Metal···Metal/π···π Interactions: Large Solvatochromism of Luminescent Organoplatinum(II) Terpyridyl Complexes (482 citations)

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

Vivian Wing-Wah Yam mainly investigates Luminescence, Photochemistry, Crystallography, Platinum and Crystal structure. Her research on Luminescence also deals with topics like

  • Polymer chemistry which intersects with area such as Characterization,
  • Metal that intertwine with fields like Transition metal. Her study in Photochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Electrochemistry, Ligand, Photoluminescence and Phosphorescence.

She interconnects Molecule, Stacking and Stereochemistry in the investigation of issues within Crystallography. Her work in Platinum covers topics such as Combinatorial chemistry which are related to areas like Organic chemistry. Her Supramolecular chemistry study incorporates themes from Nanotechnology and Nanostructure.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Luminescence (45.52%)
  • Photochemistry (45.08%)
  • Crystallography (28.34%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Luminescence (45.52%)
  • Photochemistry (45.08%)
  • Supramolecular chemistry (15.57%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Luminescence, Photochemistry, Supramolecular chemistry, Platinum and Crystallography. Her Luminescence research incorporates themes from Thin film, Nanotechnology, Metal, OLED and Phosphorescence. Her work focuses on many connections between Photochemistry and other disciplines, such as Ligand, that overlap with her field of interest in Singlet state.

As a part of the same scientific study, Vivian Wing-Wah Yam usually deals with the Supramolecular chemistry, concentrating on Combinatorial chemistry and frequently concerns with Intramolecular force and Intermolecular force. Her Platinum research integrates issues from Pyridine, Proton NMR, Self-assembly, Mass spectrometry and Absorption. When carried out as part of a general Crystallography research project, her work on Crystal structure is frequently linked to work in Hydrostatic pressure, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Coordination Compounds with Photochromic Ligands: Ready Tunability and Visible Light-Sensitized Photochromism. (119 citations)
  • Strategies towards rational design of gold( iii ) complexes for high-performance organic light-emitting devices (70 citations)
  • Realization of Thermally Stimulated Delayed Phosphorescence in Arylgold(III) Complexes and Efficient Gold(III) Based Blue-Emitting Organic Light-Emitting Devices (50 citations)
