The main thrust of this thesis is the design and development of a new class of boron-based acceptors, with a substituent which maintains good electronic coupling between boron and the other substitutes on boron, without ...

Hydroperoxides are very harmful and they can oxidize several biomolecules, causing different disease states. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a mammalian selenoenzyme which protects human body from oxidative damage by ...

The commercialization of Li-ion battery (LIB) in 1990s by Sony Corporation has led to its applications in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, cameras, laptop computers, etc. Initially, the energy density of ...

Replacing nonpolar homodiatomic C=C unit in a fully carbon -conjugated system with an isoelectronic polar heterodiatomic B-N fragment is an active area of research. The first BN/CC isosterism was demonstrated seven decades ...

Amphiphilic polymers, wherein two or more immiscible polymeric segments are connected covalently, form an interesting class of macromolecules that can self-assemble in block selective solvents as well as in bulk, to exhibit ...

In this thesis, I have presented my work on properties of hydrogen(H) bonded systems, H-atom transfer reaction in solution and molecular vibrational spectra through theoretical inves-tigations. The studies are based on two ...

The present thesis deals with the detailed ultrafast experimental studies on the ex-cited state vibrational dynamics of model chemical systems in condensed phase. The molecular systems are studied by means of Ultrafast ...

Preface Ever since the discovery of graphene in 2004, there has been considerable interest in two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials due to their distinctive properties and the prospect of potential applications. A ...

In this thesis the various facets of the chemistry of photocytotoxic iron and cobalt complexes have been investigated along with their syntheses, characterization, evaluation of the photocytotoxic activities in various ...
