James Fraser Stoddart is a chemist recognized globally for pioneering work in supramolecular chemistry. His research focused on mechanically interlocked molecules – specifically rotaxanes and catenanes – creating novel molecular machines. These systems demonstrate controlled movement at the nanoscal...
Jean-Pierre Sauvage is a French chemist recognized globally for developing molecular machines. His research focused on creating functional devices using precisely arranged atoms and molecules, exploring coordination chemistry at the nanoscale. This work demonstrated the possibility of building compl...
Charles Pedersen was an American chemist who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of crown ethers. Working at DuPont, he synthesized these cyclic polyethers, which possess unique ring structures that selectively bind and encapsulate alkali metal cations. This discovery establis...
David Leigh (born 1963) is a British chemist and professor at the University of Manchester, recognized for his work on mechanically interlocked molecules and molecular machines. His research group has synthesized rotaxanes, catenanes, and molecular knots, and developed artificial molecular motors an...
Nicholas J. Turro was a prominent American chemist who significantly advanced the field of organic photochemistry during his long tenure at Columbia University. His research focused on the physical and chemical behaviors of molecules in excited states, particularly examining how supramolecular react...
