The utility of computational study lies not only in rationalizing a chemical phenomenon but also in its predictive value. Broadly, the scope of my research work includes understanding of the structure and bonding of molecules ...

The reversible and topotactic insertion of guest species within layered host lattices, known as intercalation is a widely studied phenomena. The Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) or Anionic Alloys are important class of ...

Surfactant bound stable colloids of Au, Ag, and Pd were prepared by the solvated Metal Atom Dispersion (SMAD) method, a method involving co-condensation of metal and solvent vapors on the walls of a reactor at 77 k. The ...

The thesis is divided into four chapters Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to the metal-nucleic acid interactions, the role of synthetic models to understand them with both solution (potentiometric) and solid state ...

This thesis contains investigations in the area of polymers herein propellants binders are modified functionally to meet the requirements of future energetic propellants. Chapter 1 contains a broad introduction to the area ...

The increasing demands for biopharmaceuticals to treat different diseases have raised concerns about controlling the quality and efficacy of such pharmaceuticals. The design and formulation of a stable protein or peptide ...

Weak intermolecular interactions have very strong impact on the structures and properties of life giving molecules like H2O, DNA, RNA etc. These interactions are responsible for many biological phenomena. The directional ...

Introduction The chemistry of transitional metal complexes bearing σ-bonded H−X (X = H, Si, C) species/fragments, the so called σ-complexes, are key intermediates in catalytic processes such as hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, ...

Detection of explosives has always been a challenging issue all over the world. Different analytical techniques and instrumentation methods have been explored to obtain a 100% fail proof detector. Some technologies have ...

Graphene sheets, one atom thick, two dimensional layers of carbon atoms, have gained enormous importance over the past few years due to their unique attributes - high electronic, thermal conductivities and exceptional ...
