A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ...

Maleimide based highly luminescent material Cbz-MI with donor acceptor donor (D-A-D) backbone has been synthesized and characterized. An organic light emitting diode fabricated using this material as emitting layer exhibited ...

One third of world’s total energy is used in production of electricity and one fifth of the total electricity produced in the world is used in lighting. Hence, the materials that have high potential in the field of ...

Riboswitches are noncoding RNA molecules that can control gene expression upon cognate ligand binding. Riboswitches are primarily present in bacteria and are crucial for bacteria's survival, which makes riboswitches ...

The metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds exhibit interesting developments in coordination chemistry, materials science and other branches of chemistry. These compounds have potential applications in diverse fields ...

The NMR spectroscopy as usually practiced in isotropic achiral solvents is unable to differentiate enantiomers, unless the intermolecular diastereomeric interactions are imposed with an enantiomerically pure reagent. Chiral ...

The thesis provides a systematic investigation of materials derived from different mineral species such as vanthoffite and related minerals structures. Search of new multifunctional materials continues to be a challenge ...

This thesis embodies work on modeling magnetic anisotropy in molecular magnets. Understanding the factors that govern the magnitude of anisotropy in these materials is crucial for tailoring molecules that can be used in ...

Diffusion of guest molecules under confinement of zeolites shows many interesting properties due to guest-host interactions. This thesis explores some of these interesting behaviours relating to the diffusion of guest ...
