Awards/Medals: Steacie Prize for Natural Sciences 2000 Alexander von Humboldt Research Award 2011 Memberships: Royal Society of Canada Royal Society of Chemistry Chemical Institute of Canada Focused on developing new synthetic procedures for creating metallopolymers and inorganic ring structures. He was particularly interested in using catalysis and self-assembly to achieve this aim, and his work had a number of commercial applications. Pioneered the use of anionic, thermal and photochemical methods for the ring-opening polymerisation of strained metallocenophane precursor molecules. This work introduced a new class of metallopolymers with unusual properties such as semiconductivity, photoconductivity and etch resistance when exposed to plasmas and ionising radiation.
