Self-Assembly and Cytotoxic Activity of Homometallic and Heterometallic Coordination Architectures
(2018-05-29)
The alluring order in which complex biological networks exist in nature stimulated the interest of chemists to replicate such systems synthetically. With such examples as the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix and ...
Studies on Near-IR Light Photocytotoxic Oxovanadium Complexes
(2018-04-11)
The present thesis deals with different aspects of the chemistry of oxovanadium(IV) complexes, their interaction with double stranded DNA, photo-induced DNA cleavage, photo-enhanced cytotoxicity in visible light and red ...
Rational Design Facile Synthesis of Boryl Anilines : Intriguing Aggregation Induced Emission and External Stimuli Responsive Properties
(2018-07-26)
The main thrust of this thesis is the development of facile synthetic routes for simple boryl anilines and study their structure-property correlations in both solid and solution states and to utilize this information to ...
Functionalized Layered Double Hydroxides and Gold Nanorods
(2018-07-28)
The reversible and topotactic insertion of guest species within layered host lattices, known as intercalation is a widely studied phenomena. The Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) or Anionic Alloys are important class of ...
Halogen Bonding in the Structure and Biomimetic Dehalogenation of Thyroid Hormones and Halogenated Nucleosides
(2018-06-18)
Thyroid hormones, which are secreted by the thyroid gland, are one of the most important halogenated compounds in the body. Thyroid hormones control almost every processes in the body including growth, body temperature, ...
Triarylborane-BODIPY Conjugates : White Light Emission, Multi-color Cell Imaging and Small Molecule Based Solar Cells
(2018-06-13)
Luminescent boron containing materials find numerous applications in modern technologies such as display/lighting, bio-imaging and sensing. Thus, investigations of structure-property relationships in organic luminescent ...
Gas Phase Infrared Spectroscopy of Large Aromatic Molecules : Fermi Resonance in the C-H Stretching Region
(2018-07-19)
In this thesis, I have investigated gas phase infrared spectroscopy of environmentally as well as astrophysical important large organic molecules such as naphthalene, methy-lated naphthalene, fluorine, methyalted fluorine ...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity Studies of Au, Ag, and Pd Colloids Prepared by the Solvated Metal Atom Dispersion (SMAD) Method
(2018-07-28)
Surfactant bound stable colloids of Au, Ag, and Pd were prepared by the solvated Metal Atom Dispersion (SMAD) method, a method involving co-condensation of metal and solvent vapors on the walls of a reactor at 77 k. The ...
Targeted Delivery of Cytotoxic Metal Complexes into Cancer Cells with and without Macromolecular Vehicles
(2018-04-12)
Anticancer active metal complexes such as cisplatin are routinely used for treating various cancers since 1978. However, the side effects of cisplatin overwhelm its therapeutic potential, especially in the latter stages ...
