Serendipitous Assembly Of 3d Metal-Ion Polyclusters : Structures, Magnetic Behavior And Theoretical Studies
(2017-02-22)
The last two decades have seen extensive growth in interest in metal-ion assemblies, especially for building new polynuclear exchange-coupled magnetic systems. However, the concept of designing polynuclear extended structures ...
Mechanistic Insights Into Small Molecule (Amine-Boranes, Hydrogen, Methane, Formic Acid Carbon dioxide) Activation Using Electrophilic Ru(II)-Complexes
(2017-11-09)
Current fossil fuels (Coal and Petroleum) based economy is not sustainable in the long run because of its dwindling resources, and increasing concerns of climate change due to excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. To ...
Biomimetic Studies on Tyrosine- and Phenolate- Based Ligands and their Metal Complexes
(2017-11-14)
Tyrosine (4-hydroxyphenylalanine) is one of the naturally occurring 22 amino acids. The importance of tyrosine is due to the presence of its phenolic side chain. In biological systems, the tyrosyl residue in proteins is ...
Synthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanosponges for Hydrogen Storage and Catalytic Applications
(2017-11-28)
Nanoporous metal represents a particular form of a metal, which combines the characteristics of metals, such as good thermal and electrical conductivity, catalytic activity with the materials properties characteristic of ...
Influence of Ancillary Ligands in the Chemistry of Transition Metal σ-Complexes
(2017-09-27)
This thesis work is based on an investigation of intermediates involved in various metal mediated catalytic reactions such as hydrogenation, hydroboration, functionalization of methane etc. An intermediate dictates the ...
Organic Imine Cages : Self-Sorting and Application
(2017-11-14)
Biological systems have the incredible ability to accomplish uncommon chemical transformations with supreme delicacy. Many of those chemical transformations take place within the pocket of enzymes, which provide unique ...
Materials Chemistry in Search of Energy Materials : Photovoltaics and Photoluminescence
(2017-11-28)
One third of world’s total energy is used in production of electricity and one fifth of the total electricity produced in the world is used in lighting. Hence, the materials that have high potential in the field of ...
Exploring Diverse Facets of Small Molecules by NMR Spectroscopy
(2017-12-07)
The thesis entitled “Exploring Diverse Facets of Small Molecules by NMR Spectroscopy” consists of six chapters.
The main theme of the thesis is to exploit one and two dimensional NMR methodologies for understanding the ...
Crystal Engineering : From Molecule To Crystal Structure Landscape
(2017-08-21)
Crystal engineering underlies the essence of natural affiliation between the molecule on the one side and the crystal as a supramolecular assembly on the other. Molecular recognition is the fundamental cause for this ...
Exploring Transition Metal Oxides Towards Development of New Functional Materials : Lithium-ion Battery Cathodes, Inorganic Pigments And Frustrated Magnetic Perovskite Oxides
(2017-10-11)
Transition metals (TMs) are ‘elements whose atoms have partially filled d-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d-shell’. In TMs, the d-shell overlaps with next higher s-shell. Most of the TMs exhibit ...
