The thesis work deals with different aspects of the chemistry of oxovanadium(IV) complexes, their interaction with DNA, photo-induced cleavage of double-stranded DNA, photocytotoxic effect on cancer and normal cells in ...

Diffusion processes, because of their applications to a wide range of phenomena, have been a subject of great scientific interest ever since Einstein formulated the celebrated theory of Brownian motion. Brownian motion is ...

Introduction N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are strong  donors and weak acceptors. Also, NHC forms strong metal-carbon bonds in metal complexes and hence complexes bearing NHC ligands are in general, thermally stable. ...

Availability of appropriate forms of energy is one of the basic needs of the society. The demand for worldwide energy has been increasing, while the conventional energy sources have been depleting fast. As the present main ...

It has traditionally been believed that pi-electrons stabilize the D6h structure of benzene. However, this was questioned both using theoretical arguments, as well as circumstantial, experimental evidence. The theoretical ...

The main thrust of this thesis is the design and development of a new class of boron-based acceptors, with a substituent which maintains good electronic coupling between boron and the other substitutes on boron, without ...

In the past few decades, vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful technique in biomedical research. Raman and IR spectroscopy, which are based on signatures specific to molecular vibrations, has found a wide ...

Transport of electrons through low-dimensional quantum conductors like nano-junctions has been actively pursued research area for the last few decades. Experimental studies on nano-junctions are nowadays routinely carried ...

The need for sustainable and efficient organic synthesis has inspired chemists to embrace classic technologies like electrochemistry and photochemistry. In addition to being an environmentally benign method to synthesize ...

Abstract: The study of light emission [1] from a molecular junction is recently gaining research interest. This has direct relevance to develop novel optoelectronic devices [2] and to understand light-matter interaction ...
