(2018-05-01)
Weak intermolecular interactions have very strong impact on the structures and properties of life giving molecules like H2O, DNA, RNA etc. These interactions are responsible for many biological phenomena. The directional ...
Chemistry of Ru(II) Complexes Bearing Sigma Bonded H-X (X = H, Si, C) Species/Fragments
(2018-04-11)
Introduction
The chemistry of transitional metal complexes bearing σ-bonded H−X (X = H, Si, C) species/fragments, the so called σ-complexes, are key intermediates in catalytic processes such as hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, ...
Solvent Effects on Photochemistry and Photophysics of Aromatic Carbonyls : A Raman and Computational study
(2017-12-16)
Solvent effects play diverse roles in myriads of chemical, physical and biological processes. The solvent interacts with the solute by: i) non-specific (Coulombic, van der Waals interactions) and ii) specific interactions ...
