Elected a fellow of
He was Chair from 2004 to 2008 of sub-panel 18 (Chemistry) for the UK 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
NMR Spectroscopic achievements include the first complete analyses of the proton spectra of steroids through the pioneering use of NOEs and two-dimensional techniques,[8] and new understanding of the biophysical chemistry in vivo of microbial storage polymers.[9][10]
In supramolecular chemistry, his porphyrin systems have led to one of the first experimental verifications of the predicted Marcus 'inverted region',[11] and the standard model (with Chris Hunter) of aromatic π-π interactions.[12][13] He has used the coordination chemistry of Zn, Sn, Ru, Rh and Al oligoporphyrins
to create new complex systems,[14] to develop new templated approaches in synthesis,[15] and to engineer the acceleration of intermolecular reactions within host cavities.[16]
Since the mid-1990s he has been in the forefront (with Jean-Marie Lehn and several other research groups) of developing Dynamic covalent chemistry and the closely related dynamic combinatorial chemistry.[17] In dynamic covalent chemistry, the most stable accessible product of a mixture is formed using thermodynamically controlled reversible reactions; in dynamic combinatorial chemistry a template is used to direct the synthesis of the molecule that best stabilises the template. In each case unpredictable molecules may be discovered that would not be designed or could not be prepared by conventional chemistry. These approaches have been particularly successful in preparing unpredictable Catenanes[18][19][20] and other complex macrocycles including a molecular knot.[21]
Sanders has also recently discovered helical supramolecular nanotubes capable of binding C60 Fullerene and other guests.[22]
