Rate My Professor Peter Stang

Stang's research centers on supramolecular chemistry, with a primary focus on molecular architecture via coordination-driven self-assembly to create discrete metallacycles and metallacages. His work involves designing and synthesizing small organic molecules that self-assemble into larger geometric shapes for potential applications as nano-devices, shape-selective catalysts, anti-tumor agents, anti-bacterial agents, and drugs. He is the author or co-author of 635 scientific publications, cited more than 75,000 times with an h-index of 101. Key publications include "Organic Polyvalent Iodine Compounds" (Chemical Reviews, 1996) and "Self-Assembly, Symmetry, and Molecular Architecture: Coordination as the Motif in the Rational Design of Supramolecular Metallacyclic Polygons and Polyhedra" (Accounts of Chemical Research, 1997). Stang has received the National Medal of Science (2011), ACS Priestley Medal (2013), University of Utah Rosenblatt Prize for Excellence (1995), Utah Award in Chemistry from ACS (1994), Governor's Medal for Science and Technology, China's International Cooperation Award in Science and Technology (2019), American Institute of Chemists Gold Medal (2020), and recognition as one of Clarivate's Highly Cited Researchers.
