Current Research Themes
Our research lies at the interface of organic synthesis and materials chemistry. All the organic molecules and material systems are rationally designed to achieve a specific function and desired application. At the initial stage extensive organic synthesis is performed to synthesize small molecules of interest and are throughly studied using advanced analytical techniques such as NMR, MS, UV-vis, PL, CV etc and then transformed into materials for applications including molecular switching, chemical sensing, optoelectronics etc. The current research themes are highlighted below. Apart from these we also study structure-function correlation of functional organic diradicals and heterohelicenes for potential applications in spintronics and optoelectronics. Read through our publications for more details.
Our group members will be well expertized in both organic synthesis and materials chemistry knowledge during the research tenure and expertized in handling/analyzing analytical instruments like NMR, HRMS, UV-Vis/NIR, Glove box, Fluorimeter, SEM/TEM/AFM, TGA, DSC, Schlenk techniques etc.
