Rate My Professor Brendan Abrahams

His research specializes in inorganic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and crystal engineering, with focuses including coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks, supramolecular architecture, porphyrin building blocks, hydrothermal synthesis, single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations, zeolite analogues, enantioseparation, single-molecule magnets, and porous materials. Abrahams has authored or co-authored over 250 scholarly works. Among his most influential publications are 'Assembly of porphyrin building blocks into network structures with large channels' (Nature, 1994), 'A new type of infinite 3D polymeric network containing 4-connected, peripherally-linked metalloporphyrin building blocks' (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1991), 'Novel, acentric metal-organic coordination polymers from hydrothermal reactions involving in situ ligand synthesis' (Angewandte Chemie, 2002), 'Enantioseparation of racemic organic molecules by a zeolite analogue' (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2001), and 'Ni(tpt)(NO3)2—A Three-Dimensional Network with the Exceptional (12,3) Topology: A Self-Entangled Single Net' (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 1999). These highly cited papers highlight his impact on the design and synthesis of novel framework materials. He also serves on the Advisory Board of Chemical Communications, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
