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 ...

The thesis presents manganese‒ and rhodium‒catalyzed C‒H bond activation and tandem cyclization reactions. These reactions lead to the construction of carbon‒carbon bonds using directing group strategy. The thesis is divided ...

The chemical bonding in molecules and molecular clusters is determined by the nature of the electron density distribution between the atoms. Over the past century, different theories such as Lewis’s bond, valence-bond ...

π-conjugated organic semiconductors are a class of technologically important materials with broad applicability in areas as diverse as energy conversion and storage, bioelectronics, and consumer electronics. This is because ...

The thesis contains radical and Lewis acid-mediated syntheses of panaginsene, indole-fused azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes, and davanoids. The thesis includes three chapters; chapter-I contains the total synthesis of panaginsene, ...

Total synthesis of natural products is an important area of contemporary interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Total synthesis of natural products serves as a platform for the development of new synthetic strategies ...

My thesis involves studying the pyrolysis/thermal decomposition of cyclohexane derivatives (important constituents of conventional transportation fuel). From the literature as well as the composition analysis of two fuels ...

Supramolecular gels are soft materials consisting of a solid three-dimensional network with noncovalent interactions such as hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, cation-п, and п- п interactions. Due to their soft, ...

Supramolecular gels are soft materials with solid-like properties such as supporting weight and retaining shape; and some liquid-like features which make them injectable, printable, etc. On the other hand, lanthanide-based ...

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 ...
