It has traditionally been believed that pi-electrons stabilize the D6h structure of benzene. However, this was questioned both using theoretical arguments, as well as circumstantial, experimental evidence. The theoretical ...

Owing to their unique properties, the noble metallic nanoparticles and graphenic nanomaterials find their applications in diverse fields of science. Particularly in the field of biomedicine, nanomaterials are being used ...

The need for sustainable and efficient organic synthesis has inspired chemists to embrace classic technologies like electrochemistry and photochemistry. In addition to being an environmentally benign method to synthesize ...

The thesis describes the study of arene-tethered and untethered Ru half-sandwich complexes as catalysts in the addition of hydroelements (E‒H, E = H, B, Si) across unsaturated C-C, C-N and C-O bonds and transfer hydrogenation ...

Abstract : Co-crystals consist of two or more components that form a unique crystalline structure having unique properties. The components interact via non-covalent, ionic interaction, van der Waals interactions and π-π ...

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained tremendous interest since the discovery of graphene in 2004 due to their unique physical and chemical properties. They have been used in various research fields ...

Evasion of the immune system is a key hallmark of cancer progression. Developing strategies that diagnose early the immune-cancer synapse may lead to long term cures from these aggressive cancers. We aimed to develop optical ...

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 focus of this thesis is an attempt to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions. In ...

Magnetic nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their remarkable properties enabling applications in various fields such as catalysis, as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, in sensing ...
