Citation | Chris Hunter has pioneered the physical organic chemistry of molecular recognition. He has invented simple theoretical models that explain the dominant factors governing the behaviour of apparently complex molecular systems, and then has developed innovative experimental systems for testing and quantifying those models. He has replaced confusion and controversy in the fields of aromatic-aromatic interactions, DNA conformation and self-assembly with simple working pictures that have changed the way we think. He is one of the most cited and influential young scientists working in chemistry today. |
