Self-Assembly Of Functional Supramolecular Architectures via Metal-Ligand Coordination
(2015-09-09)Over the past few decades, supramolecular self-assembly has become an alternative synthetic tool for constructing targeted discrete molecular architectures. Among various interactions, metal-ligand coordination has attracted ... -
Self-Selection Of Discrete Molecular Architectures In Coordination-Driven Self-Assembly
(2016-10-20)Self–assembly has long been attracting chemists’ attention because it can yield fascinating supramolecular architectures in a single step. More precisely, metal–ligand coordination–driven self–assembly has stood out as an ... -
Serendipitous Assembly Of 3d Metal-Ion Polyclusters : Structures, Magnetic Behavior And Theoretical Studies
(2017-02-22)The last two decades have seen extensive growth in interest in metal-ion assemblies, especially for building new polynuclear exchange-coupled magnetic systems. However, the concept of designing polynuclear extended structures ... -
Shock tube experimental and advanced computational investigations on pyrolysis of cyclohexane derivatives and C2 + C2 reaction
My thesis involves studying the pyrolysis/thermal decomposition of cyclohexane derivatives (important constituents of conventional transportation fuel). From the literature as well as the composition analysis of two fuels ... -
Shock Tube Investigation and Modeling of Dicyclopentadiene: Fundamental to Application
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a homodimer of cyclopentadiene (C5H6) was chosen for the present study. DCPD can be obtained by dehydrogenation of JP-10 (jet propellant C10H16) which is currently used as aviation fuel. The ... -
Sol-gel based organic-inorganic hybrid coatings for corrosion protection of aerospace aluminium alloy
Aluminium metal is known for its high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. Aluminium alloys of 2XXX series, particularly the 2024 alloy with the quaternary Al–Cu–Mg–Mn composition are widely ... -
Solid Oxide Based Electrodes for CO2 Reduction
The conversion of CO2 to fuels can be instrumental in reducing future dependence on fossil fuels. High temperature (800oC) electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) provides an ... -
Solvent Effects on Photochemistry and Photophysics of Aromatic Carbonyls : A Raman and Computational study
(2017-12-16)Solvent effects play diverse roles in myriads of chemical, physical and biological processes. The solvent interacts with the solute by: i) non-specific (Coulombic, van der Waals interactions) and ii) specific interactions ... -
Spontaneous Light Emission from Molecular Junctions
Abstract: The study of light emission [1] from a molecular junction is recently gaining research interest. This has direct relevance to develop novel optoelectronic devices [2] and to understand light-matter interaction ... -
Statistical Mechanical Models Of Some Condensed Phase Rate Processes
(2010-09-13)In the thesis work we investigate four problems connected with dynamical processes in condensed medium, using different techniques of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Biology is rich in dynamical ... -
Structural and Solvent Effects on Excited State Dynamics of Rhenium(I) Tricarbonyl α-Diimine Complexes: A Time-Resolved Spectroscopic and Computational Study
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 ... -
The Structural Chemistry of Boron, Borospherenes and Borophenes: A Computational Study
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 ... -
Structure and dynamics of quantum supercooled liquids:Insights from molecular dynamics simulations
Supercooled liquids are formed when a liquid is cooled below the melting temperature, avoiding crystallization. The system gets trapped in one of the many metastable states in the free energy surface. In supercooled state, ... -
