The construction of diverse molecular architecture conceived and created by Nature, continues to be the most exiting and challenging task to the practitioners of organic synthesis. As a result of refinement in isolation ...

The present thesis entitled, "Molecular expression through fluorescence: Studies in probe design and aggregation" describes very simple bi-functional donor-acceptor poly-aromatic fluorophores that have been shown to possess ...

Among nature's creation, terpenoids are more versatile and exciting natural products. In a remarkable display of synthetic ingenuity and creativity, nature has endowed terpenes, more so sesquiterpenes, with a bewildering ...

The present thesis titled “Molecular Modulation of Material Properties: Stud- ies on Nanoparticles, Nanoassemblies and Low Molecular Mass Gelator” deals with the preparation, characterization, and investigations into the ...

The present work mainly focuses on the reactivity of monoterpenes like Carenes, Pinenes and their derivatives, which has vinylcyclopropane or vinylcyclobutane linkage. These moieties were well known to rearrange by treating ...

Thio metallates are known for many years for their utility in many processes. They have been established as versatile reagents in organic synthesis. However the heavier metal chalcogenides, though known for many years, ...

We have described herein a convenient one-pot synthesis of lisulfides/diselenides from a-amino acids mediated by ammonium etrathiomolybdate in water. (Figure 1) (Figure) Figure 1 Transformation of α-amino acids ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid under physiological condition are polyanions composed of heterocyclic bases linked through sugar phosphate backbone. Due to Watson-Crick base pairing, DNA exists in double-helical ...
