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 ...

Butenolides containing stereogenic centers on the ring, are commonly encountered structural motifs, found in many natural products. Consequently, there has been considerable interest in efficient and stereoselective ...

Aluminium metal is known for its high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. Aluminium alloys of 2XXX series, particularly the 2024 alloy with the quaternary Al–Cu–Mg–Mn composition are widely ...

The thesis entitled “Design of Novel NMR Methodologies to address diverse challenging problems in Chemistry” discusses the design of number of novel NMR methodologies which have broader utility and, also the extensive ...

The thesis presents a few Rh-catalyzed C-H activations for the construction of C-C bonds. The difficulty of substitution or the arylation at the maleimide's double bond under C-H activation conditions prompted a detailed ...

In recent years carbon-based nanomaterials are growing rapidly in the field of science and technology, due to the tunable optical and physical properties such as electronic arrangement, photostability, flexibility and ...

The nature of the lowest excited state in rhenium(I) complex with 1,10-phenathroline as ligand was first reported by Mark Wrighton and David. L. Morse. Since then many rhenium(I) complexes with different ligands having ...

Sensors, be it for temperature, pressure, acoustic, light or gas to name a few have become an indispensable part of human life. Light sensors or photodetectors have widespread usage in modern portable electronics as camera ...

Owing to its interesting chemistry and toxic nature, catalytic oxidation of CO is of both fundamental and practical interest. Two applications, viz. CO conversion in the catalytic converters and pre-treatment of CO-rich ...
