Functionalized Nanomaterial and Metallocycle for Selective Antibacterial, Diagnosis, and Anti-cancer Activity
The evolution of drug resistant bacteria has become a severe threat to public health globally. The misuse of conventional antibiotics has led to the development of multi-drug resistant bacteria. Even though antibiotics ...
Itaconate Based Novel Amphiphilic Polymer Architectures
Amphiphiles are natural or synthetic molecules consisting of hydrophilic polar head group and hydrophobic non-polar hydrocarbon tail. Beyond a certain concentration, known as critical micellar concentration (CMC), amphiphilic ...
Orbital Engineering Directed Electronic Structure Studies: Design of Pseudo 𝜋 Aromatic Molecules, Borophenes and Borophites
The many ways of using three-membered rings as a design element in molecules and borophenes (2D sheets of boron) will be presented. The underlying design principles require constructing and manipulating molecular orbitals ...
Room Temperature Phosphorescence and Circularly Polarized Luminescence Characteristics of Phosphine Oxides and Phosphoramides
Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have attracted much attention in recent years owing to their potential applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), security writing, time-gated bio-imaging, ...
Atto-second Dynamics in Molecular Systems
The thesis describes the attosecond dynamics of small molecular systems, focusing on ionization delay times and hole migration delay times. These time delays are some of the fastest events in electronic dynamics. When an ...
Machine learning and density functional theory assisted insights into the mechanical and oxidation properties of nickel-based superalloys
Due to global warming and increasing fuel costs, there is a constant thrust toward increasing fuel efficiency and reducing the emissions of gas-turbine engines, which are made out of superalloys. New superalloy materials, ...
Self-Assembled Coordination Architectures for Fluorescence Modulation, Photocatalysis, and Light Harvesting
Self-assembly and noncovalent interactions play a pivotal role in the design of complex, and
intricate functional structures. Among several design approaches, metal-ligand coordinationdriven self-assembly has emerged as ...
Binding, activation, and oxidative addition of dihydrogen using Ir-pincer systems and implications in hydrogenation catalysis
Binding of unreactive small molecules, such as H2, N2, CO2, CH4, etc. on a transition metal center and their subsequent activation are fundamental problems that have been extensively studied in organometallic chemistry for ...
Interfacial Studies Using Organized Organic and Inorganic Films
Interfaces play an important role in various fields, such as catalysis, charge transfer / electrochemical processes, chemical reactions, molecular electronics, wetting, and biology. Building functional structures with a ...
Local Structural Investigations of Composition-driven Changes in Inorganic Solid Solutions
A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ...
