Rate My Professor Stephen Lee

Lee has produced over 100 publications, garnering more than 5,600 citations. Prominent works include "Spontaneous assembly of hinged coordination network" (Nature, 1995), "An organic solid with wide channels based on hydrogen bonding between macrocycles" (Nature, 1994), "Zeolite-like behavior of a coordination compound" (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1995), "Exchange properties of a 3-D coordination compound" (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1996), "Interpenetrating polar and nonpolar sublattices in intermetallics: The NaCd₂ structure" (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2007), and "The mystery of perpendicular 5-fold axes and the fourth dimension in intermetallic structures" (Chem. Eur. J., 2008). In 1993, he received the MacArthur Fellowship for combining theoretical and experimental methods in solid-state chemistry and electronic structure theory, advancing the understanding of crystal structure formation through novel materials preparation, property prediction, and the linkage of molecular to crystal structures via symmetric organic molecules, directional coordination bonds, and inorganic packing principles. Actively engaged in education, Lee teaches courses including CHEM 1070 General Chemistry I Workshop, CHEM 4210 Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry Research, CHEM 2770 and 2780 Methods in Chemical Education, and CHEM 1729 Solve It!. He is affiliated with the Cornell Center for Materials Research and the Cornell Department of Education Research.
