Bicontinuous functional porous polymers are desirable in terms of pore accessibility, particularly for applications in templating, chromatographic separation, and catalysis. Bicontinuous morphologies can be obtained by ...

Amphiphiles are natural or synthetic molecules consisting of hydrophilic polar head group and hydrophobic non-polar hydrocarbon tail. Beyond a certain concentration, known as critical micellar concentration (CMC), amphiphilic ...

DNA is composed of light-absorbing molecular units like adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, etc. It is well-known that DNA as a whole is photostable upon exposure to sunlight. The photostability of biomolecules suggests ...

Over the past few decades, peptide research gained lot of prominence due to their extensive usage in and across domains ranging from biomedical to bio-material science. This thesis deals with two different types of peptides ...

Binary mixtures having a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, such as waterdimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), water dioxane, and water-glycerol, ...

The investigations have been carried out in the thesis entitled as “Manipulation of Spin Dynamics and Multifaceted Applications of NMR Spectroscopy to Small Molecules” to address the challenging problems encountered in ...

Boronic acid(esters) have been well recognized as an indispensable coupling partner in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions producing a vast spectrum of molecules, applicable in the diverse field ranging from medicinal ...

The thesis explores the mechanistic aspects of transfer hydrogenation of ketones and hydrosilylation of imines; two commonly used organic transformations catalyzed by ruthenium half-sandwich complexes of 2-oxazolidinethiones, ...

Second harmonic light scattering (SHLS) is a highly sensitive technique to probe reactions at interfaces/surfaces because of symmetry breaking at the interface/surface produces a large surface polarization which gives ...

Nanoparticles have gained great interest in various fundamental and applied areas of science and technology due to their tunable size dependent properties which is not achievable by their bulk counterparts. Nanoparticles ...
