Over the last century, despite enormous advancements in biomedical research and the development of sophisticated analytical instruments many diseases continue to be a burden on humankind particularly on the aged. This is ...

The thesis is divided into four chapters Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to the metal-nucleic acid interactions, the role of synthetic models to understand them with both solution (potentiometric) and solid state ...

Weak intermolecular interactions have very strong impact on the structures and properties of life giving molecules like H2O, DNA, RNA etc. These interactions are responsible for many biological phenomena. The directional ...

Electrochemical anodization is a facile technique to synthesize ordered oxide nanostructures. Though the number of materials exhibiting anodized nanostructures has increased considerably in the recent years, only nanoporous ...

Bisacetylenic cabamates/carbonates are most useful compounds in finger mark development, for the synthesis of polymeric gels and other material applications. Organochalogen derivatives are the organic compounds containing ...

Dendrimers are a class of perfectly branched symmetric monodisperse macromolecules, which are synthesized using a stepwise procedure. Due to their highly symmetric structure, they possess a definite core, discrete generations ...

The thesis involves computer simulation and theoretical studies of dynamics of water under confinement and structural transformation in different complex systems. Based on the systems and phenomena of interest, the work ...

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 ...

The present thesis is focused on the rational design of Diketopyrrolopyrrole based π- conjugated polymers for organic electronics. The thesis is organized into six different chapters and a brief description of the individual ...

Introduction The chemistry of transitional metal complexes bearing σ-bonded H−X (X = H, Si, C) species/fragments, the so called σ-complexes, are key intermediates in catalytic processes such as hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, ...
