Magnetic nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their remarkable properties enabling applications in various fields such as catalysis, as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, in sensing ... -
Design and Application of Self-Assembled Coordination Cages for Catalysis and as Drug Carrier
In summary the present thesis accounts for the design and synthesis of various coordination cages formed through the self-assembly reaction of the newly designed pyridine and pyrimidine based ligands with various 90° ... -
Design and Synthesis of Cyclic Diselenides and Selenenyl Sulfides for Biomimetic Applications
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays important roles in cell signaling and redox reactions. However, elevated levels of H2O2 and organic peroxides induce oxidative stress, resulting in damage to biomolecules such as DNA, ... -
Mechanistic Studies of Transfer Hydrogenation Catalyzed by Ru(ll)-Half-Sandwich and Group 6 NHC complexes
The thesis explores the mechanistic aspects of transfer hydrogenation of ketones and hydrosilylation of imines; two commonly used organic transformations catalyzed by ruthenium half-sandwich complexes of 2-oxazolidinethiones, ... -
Micro-spectroscopic studies on Mycobacteria & Cancer cells
Evasion of the immune system is a key hallmark of cancer progression. Developing strategies that diagnose early the immune-cancer synapse may lead to long term cures from these aggressive cancers. We aimed to develop optical ... -
Organic Transformations in the Confined Cavity of Self-Assembled Pd(II) Molecular Containers
Biological systems utilize its extraordinary ability to develop complex and functional molecular assemblies employing reversible non-covalent interactions. These natural aesthetic examples motivated synthetic chemists ... -
Protein Adsorption on Gold Nanoparticle and Protein Surfaces Probed by Second Harmonic Light Scattering
Second harmonic light scattering (SHLS) is a highly sensitive technique to probe reactions at interfaces/surfaces because of symmetry breaking at the interface/surface produces a large surface polarization which gives ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Thermal and Femtosecond Laser-Induced CO2-Surface Chemistry on Supported Iron-Oxide Based Nanoparticle Surfaces under UHV
The thesis has been presented in two parts. The 1st part of the thesis focuses on the fundamental understanding of room temperature CO2 adsorption on iron-oxide based NP surfaces. The 2nd part describes the understanding ... -
