Obtaining enantio pure drug molecules is a long standing challenge in asymmetric synthesis implying that the identification of enantiomers and the determination of enantiomeric purity from a racemic mixture are of profound ...

The utility of computational study lies not only in rationalizing a chemical phenomenon but also in its predictive value. Broadly, the scope of my research work includes understanding of the structure and bonding of molecules ...

The thesis entitled “Organic fluorine in crystal engineering: Consequences on molecular and supramolecular organization” consists of six chapters. The main theme of the thesis is to address the role of substituted fluorine ...

Stabilization of highly strained organic species and altering normal reactivity norms of organic fragments by transition metals have been a triumphing feat of organometallic chemistry. A variety of saturated and unsaturated ...

Materials for studies related to nanoscience and nanotechnology have gained tremendous attention owing to their unique physical, chemical and electronic properties. Among various anisotropic nanostructures, one dimensional ...

Chapter 1: Functional and Responsive Supramolecular Gels In this chapter ‘supramolecular gels’ derived from small organic molecules with molecular mass of typically less than 2000 daltons are discussed. Representative ...

Among various nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles are the widely studied ones because of their pronounced distinct properties arising in the nanometer size regime, which can be tailored easily by tuning predominantly their ...

Chapter 1: Introduction to the luminescent properties of lanthanides Luminescence properties of trivalent lanthanides have been explored extensively over the past few decades owing to their unique properties. Lanthanides ...

The study of conjugated polymers, in particular PPV derivatives, continues to fascinate researchers both from the standpoint of developing new routes to control their structure and photophysical properties; this is also ...

The thesis entitled “Studies on the Ring-opening Reactions of Vinylcyclopropanes, Vinylcyclobutanes, and other Small-ring Systems” is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1: Part A: Bromenium Catalyzed Tandem Ring-openin ...
