Dendrimers are a class of perfectly branched symmetric monodisperse macromolecules, which are synthesized using a stepwise procedure. Due to their highly symmetric structure, they possess a definite core, discrete generations ...

The study of conjugated polymers, in particular PPV derivatives, continues to fascinate researchers both from the standpoint of developing new routes to control their structure and photophysical properties; this is also ...

The goal of this thesis has been to throw light on a selection of open problems in chemical and biological physics using the general principles of statistical mechanics. These problems are all broadly concerned with the ...

Stabilization of highly strained organic species and altering normal reactivity norms of organic fragments by transition metals have been a triumphing feat of organometallic chemistry. A variety of saturated and unsaturated ...
