Author Information
Richard Tom Baker is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences and Centre for Catalysis Research and Innovation, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada. His research focuses on various aspects of catalysis, including organometallic catalysis, photocatalysis, and the development of new catalytic materials.Research Contributions
Richard Tom Baker has made significant contributions to the field of catalysis. His research spans a wide range of topics, including the activation of catalysts in Zn-catalysed carbonyl hydroboration, the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 for depolymerizing Kraft lignin, and the high-throughput screening of metal oxide-anchored vanadium in mesoporous silica for selective C–C bond cleavage in diols and lignin models. Additionally, he has worked on the sequestration of dyes using novel ordered mesoporous carbon, the formation of fluorinated metallacycles from fluoroalkenes, and the solution dynamics of Nickel(II)-SNS thiolate complexes. His work also includes exploring the reactivity of M-amido bifunctional complexes with first-row metals and studying metal–ligand cooperativity in Mn(II)-catalyzed hydroborations.Aliases
