In summary, we have designed and synthesized three halogenated derivatives of 1,9- pyrazoloanthrone. The involvement of halogen bonding provides highly directional interactions in the binding pocket and hence demonstrates ...

The focus of this thesis is an attempt to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions. In ...

Magnetic nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their remarkable properties enabling applications in various fields such as catalysis, as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, in sensing ...

The thesis explores the mechanistic aspects of transfer hydrogenation of ketones and hydrosilylation of imines; two commonly used organic transformations catalyzed by ruthenium half-sandwich complexes of 2-oxazolidinethiones, ...

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 ...

Rechargeable battery technologies have been the spotlight of global scientific research in the quest to address steadily growing energy demand. Currently, Li-ion batteries have unanimously occupied consumer electronic ...

Structural complexity is one of the characteristics of boron chemistry. The 3D solids formed from icosahedral B12 units is thought of as most favorable arrangement for boron allotropes. However, recent discoveries in this ...

Sun light is a relatively infinite source of energy available on the earth compared to all other renewable and non-renewable energy sources put together. Harvesting solar photons in an effective and efficient manner can ...

Copper iron chalcogenides constitute a promising class of optoelectronic materials courtesy of their narrow bandgaps and earth abundant constitution. However, they are yet to receive the attention they deserve due to the ...

The nature of the lowest excited state in rhenium(I) complex with 1,10-phenathroline as ligand was first reported by Mark Wrighton and David. L. Morse. Since then many rhenium(I) complexes with different ligands having ...
