Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Medicinal chemistry, Borane and Stereochemistry. His research in Catalysis focuses on subjects like Combinatorial chemistry, which are connected to Hydroamination, Borenium ion, Amination and Organometallic chemistry. The concepts of his Medicinal chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Carbene.

Warren E. Piers has included themes like Metallocene, Alkyne and Frustrated Lewis pair, Lewis acids and bases in his Borane study. Warren E. Piers combines subjects such as Crystallography, Ligand, Scandium, Cationic polymerization and Phosphonium with his study of Stereochemistry. His Trisborane study combines topics in areas such as Hydride and Silylation.

His most cited work include:

  • Studies on the Mechanism of B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Hydrosilation of Carbonyl Functions (489 citations)
  • Tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron-Catalyzed Hydrosilation of Aromatic Aldehydes, Ketones, and Esters (472 citations)
  • Pentafluorophenylboranes: from obscurity to applications (418 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Medicinal chemistry, Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Catalysis and Ligand. His research integrates issues of Hydride, Borane, Adduct, Reactivity and Alkyl in his study of Medicinal chemistry. His research on Organic chemistry often connects related topics like Polymer chemistry.

Warren E. Piers has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Crystallography, Chelation, Rhodium, Cationic polymerization and Reaction mechanism. His Catalysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Combinatorial chemistry and Polymerization. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Steric effects, Scandium, Photochemistry, Carbene and Yttrium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (39.39%)
  • Organic chemistry (35.50%)
  • Stereochemistry (25.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Ligand (22.51%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (39.39%)
  • Photochemistry (16.45%)

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

Warren E. Piers mainly investigates Ligand, Medicinal chemistry, Photochemistry, Organic chemistry and Catalysis. His Ligand research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Polymer chemistry, Reactivity, Carbene, Iridium and Monomer. Within one scientific family, Warren E. Piers focuses on topics pertaining to Stereochemistry under Monomer, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Boranes and Bond formation.

His studies in Medicinal chemistry integrate themes in fields like Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Pincer movement and Imide. His work deals with themes such as Hydrogen, Pincer ligand, Derivative, Isomerization and Phosphine, which intersect with Photochemistry. All of his Catalysis and Hydrosilylation, Borane and Lewis acids and bases investigations are sub-components of the entire Catalysis study.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Direct observation of a borane–silane complex involved in frustrated Lewis-pair-mediated hydrosilylations (210 citations)
  • Activation of Water, Ammonia, and Other Small Molecules by PCcarbeneP Nickel Pincer Complexes (135 citations)
  • Decamethylscandocinium-hydrido-(perfluorophenyl)borate: fixation and tandem tris(perfluorophenyl)borane catalysed deoxygenative hydrosilation of carbon dioxide (98 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary scientific interests are in Photochemistry, Ligand, Carbene, Medicinal chemistry and Stereochemistry. Warren E. Piers interconnects Hydrogen and Iridium in the investigation of issues within Photochemistry. His study focuses on the intersection of Ligand and fields such as Crystallography with connections in the field of Yield.

His Medicinal chemistry research includes elements of Derivative and Scandium. His work carried out in the field of Stereochemistry brings together such families of science as Bond formation, Computational chemistry, Lewis acids and bases and Boranes. Warren E. Piers studied Catalysis and Dissociation that intersect with Electrophile, Borane and Triethylsilane.
