Studies on Layered Ternary Metal Chalcogenides: Electronic devices, Sensors and Electrocatalysis
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained tremendous interest since the discovery of graphene in 2004 due to their unique physical and chemical properties. They have been used in various research fields ...
Photo-responsive Self-assembled Coordination Architectures and Their Applications
Development of nanomaterials that mimic enzyme-like catalytic activities (nanozymes) has drawn special attention in recent time. Nanozymes possess exclusive advantages over natural enzymes like high stability, large-scale ...
Computational Study of General Relationships in Chemistry: C−C, C−N, and B−B Coupling, B−B Catenation, and 2D Metal Borides
Elements in the periodic table are categorized into four major blocks, main group (MG) elements, transition metals (TM), lanthanides (Ln), and actinides (An), which differ dramatically. Recent studies revealed some interesting ...
Micro-spectroscopic studies on Mycobacteria & Cancer cells
Evasion of the immune system is a key hallmark of cancer progression. Developing strategies that diagnose early the immune-cancer synapse may lead to long term cures from these aggressive cancers. We aimed to develop optical ...
Design and Application of Self-Assembled Coordination Cages for Catalysis and as Drug Carrier
In summary the present thesis accounts for the design and synthesis of various coordination cages
formed through the self-assembly reaction of the newly designed pyridine and pyrimidine based
ligands with various 90° ...
Aqueous and Non- aqueous dispersions of MoS2 Nanosheets
The focus of this thesis is an attempt
to provide a molecular perspective of the interactions of solvent and ligand molecules with
sonication assisted exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions.
In ...
Chemistry of carbonized metallic nanomaterials
Magnetic nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their remarkable
properties enabling applications in various fields such as catalysis, as contrast agents for
magnetic resonance imaging, in sensing ...
Mechanistic Studies of Transfer Hydrogenation Catalyzed by Ru(ll)-Half-Sandwich and Group 6 NHC complexes
The thesis explores the mechanistic aspects of transfer hydrogenation of ketones and hydrosilylation of imines; two commonly used organic transformations catalyzed by ruthenium half-sandwich complexes of 2-oxazolidinethiones, ...
The Structural Chemistry of Boron, Borospherenes and Borophenes: A Computational Study
Structural complexity is one of the characteristics of boron chemistry. The 3D solids formed from icosahedral B12 units is thought of as most favorable arrangement for boron allotropes. However, recent discoveries in this ...
Sol-gel based organic-inorganic hybrid coatings for corrosion protection of aerospace aluminium alloy
Aluminium metal is known for its high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. Aluminium alloys of 2XXX series, particularly the 2024 alloy with the quaternary Al–Cu–Mg–Mn composition are widely ...
