Report summary

Indiana University Bloomington Department of Chemistry in 2024-2026 reads as a 41-PI network with 21 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Chemistry as the leading field (22% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Organic Chemistry as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), and Bacteriophages and microbial interactions as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 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 M. Kevin Brown (15.4 weighted works; Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods, Catalytic Cross-Coupling Reactions); Martin F. Jarrold (14.9 weighted works; Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications, Ion-surface interactions and analysis). The strongest pairings are Amar H. Flood and Krishnan Raghavachari (6 shared works, weight 3.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 8.5, around Molecular Biology, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Organic Chemistry, led by M. Kevin Brown, Martin F. Jarrold, Sara E. Skrabalak.
