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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Thermodynamics of Protein Adsorption on Gold and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles Probed by Second Harmonic Light Scattering
Over the past two decades, interaction of small molecules, peptides, and proteins
with nanoparticles of various shapes and size have been keenly pursued for two reasons: to find
application of these nanoparticle-molecule ...
Chemistry of bimetallic, chalcogenide and highly reactive metal nanoparticles
The remarkable modifications in the characteristics of materials on a nanoscale, caused by surface effects, quantum confinement, and dependence on shape, leads to diverse applications of nanomaterials, such as in catalysis, ...
Nanomaterials for Magnetism and Catalysis
Nanomaterials possess unique physical and chemical properties allowing for advancement and innovation in diverse scientific and technological fields. The remarkable magnetic and catalytic properties of these nanomaterials ...
Molecular Approaches and Structural Insights into Correlated Triplet Pair Dynamics in Intramolecular Singlet Fission
Singlet Fission (SF) is a bichromophoric process whereby a singlet exciton is converted to two triplet excitons through an overall spin-conserved process. The last decade has seen an upsurge in SF research driven by its ...
Synthesis and Modulation-Doping of VO2 (001) Epitaxial Thin Film Heterostructures
Correlated electron materials (CEMs) host a rich variety of condensed matter phases. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a prototypical CEM that undergoes a temperature-driven metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) at ~340 K accompanied ...
