[1] Other highlights include research on compounds that contain both early and late transition elements, and studies of the chemistry of both zirconium–phosphorus complexes and catalytic phosphorus–phosphorus bonds.
[1] In his early career, Stephan's work provided new insights and understanding of ligand design and synthesis for reactivity and catalysis.
This development placed Stephan as one of a handful of chemists worldwide whose fundamental advances have translated to commercial success, widespread use and impact.
In 2015, he was a distinguished adjunct professor, at King Abdulaziz University and became only the second chemist to be named an Einstein Visiting Fellow at Technische Universität Berlin for 2016–2019.
