Stephen Lee is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. He earned his PhD from the University of Chicago and a BA from Yale University. His research focuses on the synthesis and structural analysis of porous organic coordination solids, with an emphasis on developing stronger porous solids that feature covalent bonds and can accommodate cross-linkable guests. This includes employing di-isocyanides and disilyltriflates for reactions with nucleophilic groups, leading to fully covalent organic porous solids. Lee's work also examines the long-range order of intermetallic phases, particularly in noble metal alloys, and seeks to understand the unit cell dimensions related to these materials. His academic interests encompass organic and inorganic chemistry, materials science, and theoretical chemistry, contributing to a broader understanding of complex coordination compounds and their applications.
