Study of a Self-assembling Polypeptide Nanotube: Structure, Dynamics and Applications in Cancer and Tissue engineering
This thesis contains five chapters addressing the characterization and applications of a self-assembled polypeptide nanotube. It starts with an introduction to protein-based self-assembly and RGD-based targeted approaches ...
Metal Sulphide Based Semiconductors for Solar Photon Energy Harvesting
Sun light is a relatively infinite source of energy available on the earth compared to all other renewable and non-renewable energy sources put together. Harvesting solar photons in an effective and efficient manner can ...
Investigation on AxMn3O7 Class of Layered Oxides as Versatile Battery Cathodes: Structure and Electrochemistry
Rechargeable battery technologies have been the spotlight of global scientific research in the quest to address steadily growing energy demand. Currently, Li-ion batteries have unanimously occupied consumer electronic ...
Design and Application of Self-Assembled Coordination Cages for Catalysis and as Drug Carrier
In summary the present thesis accounts for the design and synthesis of various coordination cages
formed through the self-assembly reaction of the newly designed pyridine and pyrimidine based
ligands with various 90° ...
The Structural Chemistry of Boron, Borospherenes and Borophenes: A Computational Study
Structural complexity is one of the characteristics of boron chemistry. The 3D solids formed from icosahedral B12 units is thought of as most favorable arrangement for boron allotropes. However, recent discoveries in this ...
Molecular Construction Using Carbene and Diboron Systems: Catalytic Transformation of C-C and C-Hetero Atom Bonds
The thesis presents an unconventional approach for the molecular construction using carbenes as the carbon source, and water as the hydrogen source. A gold-catalyst has been used to transfer the carbenes to effect ...
Blue and Red Shifting H-Bonding in X−H···Y(X=C, O: Y = O, N, S) Complexes: A Gas Phase FTIR and ab initio Study
Regular H-bonding is essential for sustenance of many chemical and biochemical processes and has been investigated thoroughly since its discovery in the 1920’s. However, experimental finding of blue shifting of X-H stretching ...
Analytical Results on Disorder effects on Polaritons and Barrier Crossing Problems
Disorder plays a significant role in the study of numerous fields of research in chemistry.
Whether it is a more that 80 years old classic problem like Kramers’ escape rate or the current interest in polaritons, disorder ...
Theoretical investigation of H atom tunneling in Catecholate Monoanion: A combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical study
This thesis presents a combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical
study of a system, Catecholate Monoanion (CM) for the study of H atom tunneling. It has an
intramolecular H bond leading to a symmetric ...
Shock Tube Investigation and Modeling of Dicyclopentadiene: Fundamental to Application
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a homodimer of cyclopentadiene (C5H6) was chosen for the present study. DCPD can be obtained by dehydrogenation of JP-10 (jet propellant C10H16) which is currently used as aviation fuel. The ...
