Functionalized Layered Double Hydroxides and Gold Nanorods
(2018-07-28)
The reversible and topotactic insertion of guest species within layered host lattices, known as intercalation is a widely studied phenomena. The Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) or Anionic Alloys are important class of ...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity Studies of Au, Ag, and Pd Colloids Prepared by the Solvated Metal Atom Dispersion (SMAD) Method
(2018-07-28)
Surfactant bound stable colloids of Au, Ag, and Pd were prepared by the solvated Metal Atom Dispersion (SMAD) method, a method involving co-condensation of metal and solvent vapors on the walls of a reactor at 77 k. The ...

Nanoparticle Mediated Suppression of Protein Aggregation
(2018-05-11)
The increasing demands for biopharmaceuticals to treat different diseases have raised concerns about controlling the quality and efficacy of such pharmaceuticals. The design and formulation of a stable protein or peptide ...
Microwave Spectroscopic and Atoms in Molecules Theoretical Investigations on Weakly Bound Complexes : From Hydrogen Bond to 'Carbon Bond'
(2018-05-01)
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 ...
Chemistry of Ru(II) Complexes Bearing Sigma Bonded H-X (X = H, Si, C) Species/Fragments
(2018-04-11)
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, ...
