Sir James Fraser Stoddart, FRS FRSE HonFRSC [1] (24 May 1942 – 30 December 2024) was a British-American chemist who was Chair Professor in Chemistry at the University of Hong Kong. [8] He was the Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry and head of the Stoddart Mechanostereochemistry Group in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern ...
Fraser Stoddart (1942–2024), Scottish chemist, a pioneer in the field of the mechanical bond; Molly Shoichet, award-winning Canadian biomedical engineer known for her work in tissue engineering. She is the only person to be a fellow of the three National Academies in Canada; F. Gordon A. Stone (1925–2011), British inorganic chemist
The synthesis of molecular Borromean rings was reported in 2004 by the group of J. Fraser Stoddart. The so-called Borromeate is made up of three interpenetrated macrocycles formed through templated self assembly as complexes of zinc. [1]
Cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) is able to incorporate small guest molecules forming a host–guest complex.The interactions required for complex formation are donor-acceptor interactions and hydrogen bonding, their strength is highly dependent on the ability of the donor to provide π-electron density.
In 2016 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, and Bernard L. Feringa for the design and synthesis of molecular machines. Kinesin walking on a microtubule is a molecular biological machine using protein domain dynamics on nanoscales.
On 20 December 2016, Feringa jointly received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Jean-Pierre Sauvage, for their work on molecular machines. [1] Feringa had been considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize for some time, with The Simpsons including him in a list of candidates in 2010. [46]
Sir James Fraser Stoddart, supramolecular chemist, Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 2016; Smithson Tennant, discoverer of iridium and osmium; Alexander Robertus Todd, Baron Todd, first synthesizer of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 1957
It was synthesized and named by Fraser Stoddart and coworkers in 1994. [1] The molecule was designed without any practical use in mind, [2] although other catenanes may have possible application to the construction of a molecular computer.
