Technical Research Interest:

Professor Stoddart and his research group work primarily in four areas. They are (1) template-directed synthesis, that is either kinetically or thermodynamically controlled, (2) physical organic chemistry, principally as it relates to chemical topology and supramolecular phenomena, (3) design and construction of artificial molecular machinery, with special reference to actuators and switches, and (4) the application of nanoscale chemistry conducted on surfaces and at interfaces to fundamental problems in materials science and the life sciences. A wide range of knowledge and skill sets are required in order to pursue research effectively and efficiently in such a multidisciplinary environment. Collaboration is encouraged within the Stoddart Group and beyond. Presently, it involves both graduate and undergraduate students, as well as postdoctoral scholars, and extends nationally and internationally, as well as departmentally and campus-wide. Much emphasis is put on the development of presentational skills. Communication is central to the culture of a group which recognizes that the world is flat!

Additional Information:

Fraser Stoddart (b 1942) received his BSc (1964) and PhD (1966) degrees from Edinburgh University. In 1967, he went to Queen's University (Canada) as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow, and then, in 1970, to Sheffield University as an Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) Research Fellow, before joining the academic staff as a Lecturer in Chemistry. He was a Science Research Council Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1978. After spending a sabbatical (1978-81) at the ICI Corporate Laboratory in Runcorn, he returned to Sheffield where he was promoted to a Readership in 1982. He was awarded a DSc degree by Edinburgh in 1980 for his research into stereochemistry beyond the molecule. In 1990, he moved to the Chair of Organic Chemistry at Birmingham University and was Head of the School of Chemistry there (1993-97) before moving to UCLA as the Saul Winstein Professor of Chemistry in 1997. In July 2002, he became the Acting Co-Director of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI). On May 1, 2003, he was appointed the Director of the CNSI and assumed the Fred Kavli Chair of NanoSystems Sciences.

Stoddart is one of the few chemists of the past quarter of a century to have created a new field of organic chemistry - namely, one in which the mechanical bond is a pre-eminent feature of molecular compounds. He has pioneered the development of molecular recognition-cum-self-assembly processes and template-directed protocols for the syntheses of two-state mechanically interlocked compounds (bistable catenanes and rotaxanes) that have been employed as molecular switches and as motor-molecules in the fabrication of nanoelectronic devices and NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS).

His work has been recognized by many awards, including the Carbohydrate Chemistry Award of The Chemical Society (1978), the International Izatt-Christensen Award in Macrocyclic Chemistry (1993), the American Chemical Society's Cope Scholar Award (1999), and the Nagoya Gold Medal in Organic Chemistry (2004). He was one of ca. 20 research scientists to be invited by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to participate in the Nobel Jubilee Symposium on "Frontiers of Molecular Sciences" in Stockholm in December 2001. In 2005, he received the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science from Birmingham University, as well as being the recipient of the University of Edinburgh Alumnus of the Year 2005 Award. He is currently on the international advisory boards of numerous journals, including Angewandte Chemie, and the editor of the Royal Society of Chemistry Series of Monographs on Supramolecular Chemistry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (1994), the German Academy of Natural Sciences (1999), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2005).

In addition to being made an Honorary Professor at the East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai and the Carnegie Centenary Visiting Professorship at the Scottish Universities in 2005, Stoddart has been awarded named lectureships by, inter alia, the following universities - Alberta, Albany (SUNY), Brigham Young, Berkeley (UC), Bristol, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Dalhousie, Dundee, Edinburgh, ETH Zurich, Hebrew, Kaiserslautern, Kansas, Louvain La Neuve, McGill, Minnesota, Missouri-St Louis, Montreal, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Pennsylvania, Regensburg, Rochester, Saskatoon, Simon-Fraser, Song Sil, Strasbourg, Sydney, Texas Austin, Texas A&M, Texas Christian, Vanderbilt, Victoria, Western Ontario, Wesleyan, Wisconsin, and Yale. He has also been Middle Rhine (1982), Troisième Cycle en Chemie (1988), and Atlantic Coast (1993) Lecturer. He went on Royal Society Lecture Tours of the USSR and Japan in 1986 and 1987, respectively.

Some measure of the influence of Stoddart's work may be drawn from citation statistics. Three of his >730 publications have been cited over 500 times, eight over 300, 46 over 100, and 138 over 50. He has an h-index of 73. For the period from January 1996 to June 30, 2006, he is ranked by the Institute for Scientific Information as the third most cited chemist with a total of 13,567 citations from 309 papers at a frequency of 43.9 citations per paper. During 37 years, >280 PhD and postdoctoral students have passed through his laboratories and been inspired by his imagination and creativity, and >60 have subsequently embarked upon successful independent academic careers.
