Studies on Oxovanadium(IV) Complexes for Photocytotoxicity and Cellular Imaging
The thesis work deals with different aspects of the chemistry of oxovanadium(IV) complexes, their interaction with DNA, photo-induced cleavage of double-stranded DNA, photocytotoxic effect on cancer and normal cells in ...
Anomalous Diffusion in a Rearranging Medium Diffusing Diffusivity Models
Diffusion processes, because of their applications to a wide range of phenomena, have been a subject of great scientific interest ever since Einstein formulated the celebrated theory of Brownian motion. Brownian motion is ...
Chemistry of Ru(II) Complexes Bearing N-heterocyclic Carbene, Hydride, and Dihydrogen Ligands : Synthesis, Mechanistic Insights, and Applications
Introduction
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are strong donors and weak acceptors. Also, NHC forms strong metal-carbon bonds in metal complexes and hence complexes bearing NHC ligands are in general, thermally stable. ...
New Class of Tricoordinate Boron Based Donor-Acceptor (D-A) Systems Exhibiting External Stimuli Responsive Properties, Delayed Emission and Room Temperature Phosphorescence
The main thrust of this thesis is the design and development of a new class of boron-based acceptors, with a substituent which maintains good electronic coupling between boron and the other substitutes on boron, without ...
Structure-Activity Correlation and Mechanistic Investigations of Glutathione Peroxidase-Like Catalytic Activity of Diaryl Diselenides
Hydroperoxides are very harmful and they can oxidize several biomolecules, causing different disease states. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a mammalian selenoenzyme which protects human body from oxidative damage by ...
Electrochemical Investigations Related to the Next Generation Sodium and Potassium Batteries
The commercialization of Li-ion battery (LIB) in 1990s by Sony Corporation has led to its applications in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, cameras, laptop computers, etc. Initially, the energy density of ...
A New Class of Boron-Nitrogen Compounds : A Rational Approach for the Design and Development of Smart Materials
Replacing nonpolar homodiatomic C=C unit in a fully carbon -conjugated system with an isoelectronic polar heterodiatomic B-N fragment is an active area of research. The first BN/CC isosterism was demonstrated seven decades ...
Exploring New Designs of Amphiphilic Graft Copolymers and Forays into 2D Polymers
Amphiphilic polymers, wherein two or more immiscible polymeric segments are connected covalently, form an interesting class of macromolecules that can self-assemble in block selective solvents as well as in bulk, to exhibit ...
Theoretical Investigation of H-Bonded O-H Vibrations, H-Atom Transfer and C-H Vibrations via Empirical Valence Bond and Local Mode Based Models
In this thesis, I have presented my work on properties of hydrogen(H) bonded systems, H-atom transfer reaction in solution and molecular vibrational spectra through theoretical inves-tigations. The studies are based on two ...
Understanding Ultrafast Molecular Structural Dynamics in Liquids : Ultrafast Raman Loss and Transient Absorption Study
The present thesis deals with the detailed ultrafast experimental studies on the ex-cited state vibrational dynamics of model chemical systems in condensed phase. The molecular systems are studied by means of Ultrafast ...
