Polymerizable Porogen – Direct generation of internally functionalized porous polymers
Bicontinuous functional porous polymers are desirable in terms of pore accessibility, particularly for applications in templating, chromatographic separation, and catalysis. Bicontinuous morphologies can be obtained by ...
Itaconate Based Novel Amphiphilic Polymer Architectures
Amphiphiles are natural or synthetic molecules consisting of hydrophilic polar head group and hydrophobic non-polar hydrocarbon tail. Beyond a certain concentration, known as critical micellar concentration (CMC), amphiphilic ...
Towards Electronic Scale Dynamics of Chemical Bonding in Isolated Molecules and Solvated Species
The chemical bonding in molecules and molecular clusters is determined by the nature of the electron density distribution between the atoms. Over the past century, different theories such as Lewis’s bond, valence-bond ...
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 ...
Theoretical Studies on Excited-State Photodynamics: N-H Dissociation in Aniline and Intermolecular H atom Transfer in the 2-Amino Pyridine Dimer
DNA is composed of light-absorbing molecular units like adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine,
etc. It is well-known that DNA as a whole is photostable upon exposure to sunlight.
The photostability of biomolecules suggests ...
Synthesis of Amyloidogenic Peptides and Endosomolytic Peptides for Functional and Intracellular Protein Delivery Studies.
Over the past few decades, peptide research gained lot of prominence due to their extensive usage in and across domains ranging from biomedical to bio-material science. This thesis deals with two different types of peptides ...
Aqueous Binary Mixtures: A Study Using NMR Measurements and ab initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Binary mixtures having a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, such as waterdimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO), water-methanol, water-ethanol, water-tertiary butyl alcohol
(TBA), water dioxane, and water-glycerol, ...
Cobalt-nhc Complexes and Diazabutadienes in Activation of Mono/Diboron Compounds and Their Application in C-b Coupling Reactions
Boronic acid(esters) have been well recognized as an indispensable coupling partner in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions producing a vast spectrum of molecules, applicable in the diverse field ranging from medicinal ...
Platinum(II)-BODIPY Conjugates for Organelle Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Red Light
The serendipitous discovery of Cisplatin (CP, Peyrone's chloride) as an anticancer agent in 1965 by Barnett Rosenberg led to the evolution of other platinum-based anticancer drugs, namely, Carboplatin in 1989 and Oxaliplatin ...
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, ...
