Antioxidant Activity Of The Anti-Inflammatory Compound Ebselen And Its Analogues : Role Of Nonbonded Interactions
(2010-10-05)Although considered as a poison for long time, the importance of selenium as an essential trace element is now well recognized. In proteins, the redox active selenium moiety is incorportated as selenocysteine (Sec), the ... -
Chiral Bisphosphinites For Asymmetric Catalysis
(2010-07-21)Chiral bisphosphinites are well-documented alternatives for chiral bisphosphines as ligands that can be exploited in various asymmpetric syntheses. Particularly, vicinal biarylphophinite ligands give a seven membered chelate ... -
Mapping The Reaction Coordinate For The Oxidative Addition Of Molecular Hydrogen To A Metal Center
(2010-07-15)The binding of molecular hydrogen to a metal center leads to the elongation of the H−H bond and subsequently to its cleavage along the reaction coordinate for the oxidative addition of H2. There has been considerable ... -
Modelling Stochasticity In Selected Biological Processes
(2010-08-16)Biological processes at the cellular level take place in heterogeneous environments, and usually involve only a small number of molecules. They tend to exhibit strong time dependent fluctuations, as a result, and are, ... -
Probing The Origin Of Second Harmonic Generation From Copper Nanoparticles In Solution By Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering
(2010-08-09)In recent years, coinage metal nanoparticles have emerged as materials with largest quadratic optical nonlinearity. Their first hyperpolarizabilities (β) are very high (105-106 x 10-30 esu) but such large values were quite ... -
Quadratic Optical Nonlinearity And Geometry Of 1:1 Electron Donor Acceptor Complexes In Solution
(2010-06-04)The knowledge of geometry of molecular complexes formed via molecular association in solution through weak interactions is always important to understand the origin of stability and function of an array of molecules, ... -
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 ... -
Theoretical And Spectroscopic Studies On Weakly Bound Complexes And Acetylene
(2010-09-03)Atoms construct the molecules and molecules construct the material substances (with the exceptions as well, e.g.., metals, where atoms directly construct the material substances). Intermolecular interactions play an important ... -
Theoretical Investigations Of Structure, Energy And Properties Of A Few Inorganic Compounds
(2010-08-11)This thesis reports the theoretical investigations aimed at understanding the structure, stability and properties of a few inorganic compounds. The first chapter presents an introductory overview of the theories used to ...
