Report summary

Indiana University Bloomington Department of Chemistry in 2021-2026 reads as a 56-PI network with 51 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Chemistry as the leading field (22% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Bacteriophages and microbial interactions as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Sara E. Skrabalak (48.7 weighted works; Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applications, Advanced Photocatalysis Techniques); M. Kevin Brown (43.8 weighted works; Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods, Organoboron and organosilicon chemistry). The strongest pairings are Amar H. Flood and Krishnan Raghavachari (10 shared works, weight 5.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 15, around Molecular Biology, Spectroscopy, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, led by Sara E. Skrabalak, Martin F. Jarrold, David E. Clemmer.
