Chemistry, Crystallography, Crystalline Solids, Polymorphism, Hydrates and Pharmaceuticals
Expert has extensive experience in research on crystalline molecular solids, X-ray and neutron crystallography, coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry (RSC Meldola Medal; Bob Hay Lectureship; Corday-Morgan Prize). His research involved organic solid state chemistry, crystallography, polymorphism, solid form and cocrystals.…
Industrial Chemical Production, Natural Gas Conversion to Liquid Fuels, Fine Chemicals, and Energy e
In general, chemical compounds that have multiple bonds (Double or Triple), they can accept addition reactions. The reaction could proceed either by nucleophilic, or electrophillic addition reactions. In some special cases, it can be controlled either thermodynamically, or kinetically. Activation…
Organic Process Chemistry
Expert has developed, scaled-up, and commercialized a key step in vitamin A synthesis. The step was commercialized at the Belgorod Vitamin Plant in Russia. This gave him an in-depth knowledge of fine organic synthesis. Expert has developed, scaled-up, and commercialized…
Organic Synthesis, Organometallics, Prostaglandins, Vitamin D, Catalysis
ORGANIC SYNTHESIS; ORGANIC REACTIONS; NATURAL PRODUCT. Expert and his research group have successfully carried through many total syntheses of natural products. In addition, he has originated, reduced to practice, and published many new methods for effecting organic transformations. He also…
Material Analysis/Spectroscopy
During the past 15 years, Expert's research has become increasingly oriented toward vibrational spectroscopy, particularly Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. In the early 1980s, he developed modern step-scan FT-IR instrumentation for photoacoustic and photothermal spectroscopy of surfaces and opaque or…
