Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Steven E. Wheeler's research group employs computational quantum chemistry to investigate the influence of non-covalent interactions, such as π-stacking and cation/π interactions, on aromatic systems. Their work focuses on quantifying the role of these interactions in diverse fields including organic chemistry, materials science, and molecular biology. A significant aspect of their methodology involves the development of simplified, physically-grounded conceptual models that offer practical utility for chemists.

Wheeler has published extensively, with a body of work including 204 publications and over 9,000 citations, contributing to an h-index of 47. His recent publications explore topics such as the "SEQCROW" ChimeraX bundle for quantum chemical applications, electrostatic interactions in asymmetric organocatalysis, and systematic studies of heteroarene stacking. Other areas of investigation include revisiting models for π–π interactions and exploring ketenimines as aza-dienophiles. His work also extends to crystal engineering of heterocyclic oligomers through programmed aromatic stacking and the importance of non-covalent contacts in stereoselective synthesis.
