Orbital Engineering Directed Electronic Structure Studies: Design of Pseudo 𝜋 Aromatic Molecules, Borophenes and Borophites
The many ways of using three-membered rings as a design element in molecules and borophenes (2D sheets of boron) will be presented. The underlying design principles require constructing and manipulating molecular orbitals ...
Microwave Spectroscopic and Computational Studies on Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes
Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are key contributors to numerous biological phenomena and have significant implications in synthetic chemistry as well. In supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering, ...
Targeting RNA with Drug-Like Small Molecules and Fluorescent Probes for Mapping Cell Fate
Part A
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays a central role in various essential functions such as cellular information transfer and gene regulations in living organisms.1 Recent studies have shown that RNA is involved in various ...
Ultrafast Processes in Energetic Molecules
The thesis has been presented in two parts. In first part of the thesis, ultrafast relaxation dynamics of UV excitation induced chemistry via electronically excited states has been discussed. Taking one example from each ...
Computational Studies of Heavier Main Group Elements: Control of Lewis Acidity of Bi and Sb by Charge and Ligand Design, and Structural Variations of [Fe(CO)4]2E2 and E2CH2 Isomers (E = C–Pb)
Traditional main group compounds demonstrate Lewis acidity due to the presence of vacant p- orbitals. Hydrides of lighter main group elements, such as NH3, function as Lewis bases. However, introducing highly electronegative ...
Self-Assembled Coordination Architectures for Fluorescence Modulation, Photocatalysis, and Light Harvesting
Self-assembly and noncovalent interactions play a pivotal role in the design of complex, and
intricate functional structures. Among several design approaches, metal-ligand coordinationdriven self-assembly has emerged as ...
Interfacial Studies Using Organized Organic and Inorganic Films
Interfaces play an important role in various fields, such as catalysis, charge transfer / electrochemical processes, chemical reactions, molecular electronics, wetting, and biology. Building functional structures with a ...
Excited State Intramolecular Charge Transfer: Ultrafast Electronic and Vibrational Spectroscopic Study
This thesis incorporates the understanding of the ultrafast excited state photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process in liquid phase. The molecular systems are studied by employing Ultrafast Raman Loss ...
Identifying Bacterial Species, Detecting Antibiotic Resistance and Susceptibilities in Clinical Samples Using Raman Spectroscopy
Over the past few decades, Raman spectroscopy has found enormous applications in biology and medicine. Raman micro-spectroscopy is highly sensitive to the structure and composition of molecules and their surrounding moieties ...
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 ...
