Hansch may be best known as the father of the concept of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), the quantitative correlation of the physicochemical properties of molecules with their biological activities. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR is the process by which Chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process such as
He is also noted for the Hansch equation, which is used in
Research Interests: Organic Chemistry; Interaction of organic chemicals with living organisms, Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR). Organic chemistry is a discipline within Chemistry which involves the scientific study of the structure properties composition reactions, and preparation
His research group at Pomona College worked on QSAR studies and in building and expanding the database of chemical and physical data as C-QSAR and Bioloom. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR is the process by which Chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process such as Hammett equation in Organic chemistry describes a Free-energy relationship relating Reaction rates and Equilibrium constants for many reactions The Craig plot is a plot of two substituent parameters (eg Hansch -Fujita p and Hammett \sigma values used in rational Drug design. Pomona College is a private residential liberal arts college located in Claremont California. His postgraduate disciples were
