Alluaudite Battery Chemistry: Design and Exploration
Being one of the most promising technologies in human history, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have empowered our lives since their commercialization in 1991 by SONY®. However, all these applications need massive production ...
Designing Metallo-Supramolecular Assemblies for Biomimetic Catalysis and Environmental Sustainability
Molecular self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and plays a vital role in the emergence and maintenance of life. For example, DNA strands self-assemble into a double helix that stores genetic information. Likewise, ...
Rational Design of Efficient Catalysts using First-Principles and Machine Learning
Rising concerns about the impending energy crisis and environmental impact have garnered tremendous research interest in developing catalysts for sustainable fuel production and pollution abatement. However, the traditional ...
Analytical Applications of Bile Acid-derived Soft Materials
Supramolecular gels are soft materials with solid-like properties such as supporting weight and retaining shape; and some liquid-like features which make them injectable, printable, etc. On the other hand, lanthanide-based ...
Carbon-Carbon and Carbon Heteroatom Bond Forming Reactions: From Organocatalysts to Quantum Dots
Butenolides containing stereogenic centers on the ring, are commonly encountered structural
motifs, found in many natural products. Consequently, there has been considerable interest in
efficient and stereoselective ...
Sol-gel based organic-inorganic hybrid coatings for corrosion protection of aerospace aluminium alloy
Aluminium metal is known for its high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. Aluminium alloys of 2XXX series, particularly the 2024 alloy with the quaternary Al–Cu–Mg–Mn composition are widely ...
Novel and Fundamental Studies of Separation Methods Leading to Very High Degree of Separation of Molecular Mixtures and Related Studies
Separation of molecular mixtures will often require in chemistry, biology, physics and material science. Existing methods of separation can at best yield a separation factor of 10^4 . They also incur huge expenditure of ...
Construction of C-C bonds by C-H Activation: Rh(III)-Catalyzed reactions of Arenes and Heteroarenes with Maleimides and Allylic Alcohols
The thesis presents a few Rh-catalyzed C-H activations for the construction of C-C bonds. The difficulty of substitution or the arylation at the maleimide's double bond under C-H activation conditions prompted a detailed ...
Manipulation of Spin Dynamics and Multifaceted Applications of NMR Spectroscopy to Small Molecules
The investigations have been carried out in the thesis entitled as “Manipulation of Spin Dynamics and Multifaceted Applications of NMR Spectroscopy to Small Molecules” to address the challenging problems encountered in ...
Cobalt-nhc Complexes and Diazabutadienes in Activation of Mono/Diboron Compounds and Their Application in C-b Coupling Reactions
Boronic acid(esters) have been well recognized as an indispensable coupling partner in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions producing a vast spectrum of molecules, applicable in the diverse field ranging from medicinal ...
