Allylic Halogenation Route to Latent-Active Trans-Glycosylation of Allyl Glycoside Donors
Allylic halogenation of allyl glycosides as a new route to allyl glycoside donors in glycosylations is investigated in this thesis. Allyl functionality is one of the commonly adopted protecting groups to hydroxyl groups ...
Analytical models of selected stochastic processes in condensed phase systems
This thesis is a record of the research I have carried out over the last five years to understand a selection of problems in the broad area of single-molecule physics. These problems cover four broad themes: (i) dynamically ...
Study of a Self-assembling Polypeptide Nanotube: Structure, Dynamics and Applications in Cancer and Tissue engineering
This thesis contains five chapters addressing the characterization and applications of a self-assembled polypeptide nanotube. It starts with an introduction to protein-based self-assembly and RGD-based targeted approaches ...
Tuning crystal structures with weak interactions: From solid solutions to stoichiometric cocrystals
This thesis shows that when two organic compounds A and B are cocrystallized and the
A∙∙∙B interactions are neither completely isotropic nor anisotropic enough to cause the formation
of a stoichiometric cocrystal AxBy, ...
Protein Adsorption on Gold Nanoparticle and Protein Surfaces Probed by Second Harmonic Light Scattering
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 ...
Self-assembly of Luminescent Metal Nanoclusters, Supramolecular Bile salt based Gels and their Soft Nanocomposites
The thesis is based on the study of the self-assembly of multicolor luminescent nanoclusters,
bile salt derived supramolecular gels and soft hybrid gel-nano composites
Molecular Construction Using Carbene and Diboron Systems: Catalytic Transformation of C-C and C-Hetero Atom Bonds
The thesis presents an unconventional approach for the molecular construction using carbenes as the carbon source, and water as the hydrogen source. A gold-catalyst has been used to transfer the carbenes to effect ...
Blue and Red Shifting H-Bonding in X−H···Y(X=C, O: Y = O, N, S) Complexes: A Gas Phase FTIR and ab initio Study
Regular H-bonding is essential for sustenance of many chemical and biochemical processes and has been investigated thoroughly since its discovery in the 1920’s. However, experimental finding of blue shifting of X-H stretching ...
Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8) Supported Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Applications
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 ...
Imidazole and NHC-Carbene based Coordination Architectures and Their Applications
Modern-day chemistry demands novel molecular materials having aesthetically pleasing structures along with fascinating chemical and physical properties. New synthetic strategies have been applied for structural modulation ...
