Extending Aryne Chemistry: Application to Insertion Reactions, Multicomponent Couplings, Molecular Rearrangements and Arylation Reactions
Arynes are highly reactive electrophilic intermediates, which can be utilized in various carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions including pericyclic reactions, insertion reactions, multicomponent couplings (MCCs), molecular ... -
Transition metal boride based multilayer solar selective coatings for concentrated solar power application
Renewable power technologies with zero CO2 emissions are the key to regulate the current global warming scenario. Solar energy is the most affordable and sustainable green energy source. One hour of solar radiation has ... -
Graphene based materials : Mechanistic insights into corrosion inhibition and supercapacitance
In the contemporary scenario, protecting metals and alloys from deterioration through the coating is the main concern that extracts worldwide attention. Although existing coating processes and methods such as epoxy ... -
Allylic Halogenation Route to Latent-Active Trans-Glycosylation of Allyl Glycoside Donors
Allylic halogenation of allyl glycosides as a new route to allyl glycoside donors in glycosylations is investigated in this thesis. Allyl functionality is one of the commonly adopted protecting groups to hydroxyl groups ... -
Aqueous Binary Mixtures: A Study Using NMR Measurements and ab initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Binary mixtures having a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, such as waterdimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), water dioxane, and water-glycerol, ... -
Theoretical Studies on Excited-State Photodynamics: N-H Dissociation in Aniline and Intermolecular H atom Transfer in the 2-Amino Pyridine Dimer
DNA is composed of light-absorbing molecular units like adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, etc. It is well-known that DNA as a whole is photostable upon exposure to sunlight. The photostability of biomolecules suggests ... -
Exploration of Ti-based Anodes for Rechargeable Alkali-ion Batteries And Hybrid-ion Capacitors
From 600 B.C. till 1700 A.D., electricity remained the least understood form of energy and was considered "Magical." In the 18th century A.D., the electricity that mysteriously struck Franklin as he arduously flew a kite ... -
Microscopic Investigations of Dynamics of Linear Diatomics and Ions in Water and Aqueous Binary Mixtures
This thesis explores the structural and dynamical aspects of small, charged and neutral, solute molecules in both pure water and in aqueous binary mixtures, with emphasis on water-ethanol binary mixture. We employ both ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC)-Catalyzed Stereoselective Synthesis of Six-Membered Heterocycles and Carbocycles
