Traditional main group compounds demonstrate Lewis acidity due to the presence of vacant p- orbitals. Hydrides of lighter main group elements, such as NH3, function as Lewis bases. However, introducing highly electronegative ...

Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites have emerged as a new class of semiconducting materials with potential applications in solar devices, catalyzed by the remarkable power conversion efficiency of over 21% ...

Singlet Fission (SF) is a bichromophoric process whereby a singlet exciton is converted to two triplet excitons through an overall spin-conserved process. The last decade has seen an upsurge in SF research driven by its ...

Advances in heteroatom (B, N, and B-N) incorporated π-conjugated systems have attracted considerable attention because of their desirable properties and widespread applications. Substitution of isoelectronic B–N units for ...

According to independent electron band structure theories, transition metal oxides (TMOs) with partially filled 3d valence band are predicted to be metallic in nature. Though in reality, most of them are insulators. Mott ...

Overall, the Thesis work establishes: • Monomeric and multimeric ligand-lectin interactions occurring at cell surfaces that could be assessed using purified protein and cellular model system, namely, glycovesicles; • ...

Arynes are highly reactive electrophilic intermediates, extensively used for synthesizing various benzo-fused heterocycles and 1,2-disubstituted benzenes. Among the numerous reactions of arynes, multicomponent coupling ...

In summary, we have developed the first decarboxylative [4+2]-annulation of ethynyl benzoxazinanones with azlactones for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclic α-quaternary α-acylaminoamides.25 This direct and modular ...

The thesis presents photocatalytic methods for synthesizing small organic molecules at room temperature. The thesis is divided into four sections. Section A presents the general introduction to the thesis. Section B is ...

The present study describes the results on inorganic and organic materials for energy storage and sensors. It contains eight chapters including introduction, experimental and summary sections. The first chapter gives ...
