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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The concept of molecular switches has garnered enormous interest because of the vital role of these switches as components in molecular electronic/photonic devices, signal transmission and optical communication. Compounds ...

The thesis describes the study of arene-tethered and untethered Ru half-sandwich complexes as catalysts in the addition of hydroelements (E‒H, E = H, B, Si) across unsaturated C-C, C-N and C-O bonds and transfer hydrogenation ...

The present thesis work deals with the studies involving synthesis of vanadium-based complexes as photoactivated chemotherapeutic as well a photodynamic therapeutic agent. Their interactions with DNA, as double-stranded ...

The importance of non-covalent interactions cannot be undermined, as it permeates nearly every sphere of chemistry. The hydrogen bond is the most well-known and ubiquitous non-covalent interaction. In recent times similar ...

We successfully designed and synthesized a series of thiophene based luminophores. We were able to modulate the optical band gap of these luminophores by systematically fine-tuning the chemical structure of these compounds. ...

In the mesoscopic world, diffusion is a ubiquitous process and it is usually explained by the Einstein’s theory of Brownian motion (BM). However, in the biological systems, some peculiar dynamical behaviors are observed ...

Ni-Ni3B, Co-B, and Co-Ni-B nanocomposites decorated on carbon aerogel were successfully synthesized by adopting the solution impregnation method. The nanocomposites were characterized by powder XRD, transmission electron ...
