Philip J. Dutton is an Associate Professor and Department Head in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor. He holds a Ph.D. from Victoria and has a strong research background in supramolecular chemistry, particularly focusing on non-covalent interactions. His work explores the molecular associations and forces that govern chemical interactions, including weak London forces and strong hydrogen bonds. Dutton has developed a calix [4] resorcinarene system to investigate ion-dipole interactions, synthesizing a variety of substituted species for physical characterization. His research also quantifies association constants for resorcinarnes with various metal cations and investigates their behavior in Langmuir-Blodgett films. Alongside these studies, he is actively engaged in preparing new resorcinarene materials to incorporate binding sites for molecules, aiming to develop chemical sensor devices leveraging energy transfer from luminescent characteristics. His ongoing Ph.D. program provides challenging and rewarding opportunities for students in this exciting research area.
