Areas of Interest
Organometllic Ferrocene chemistry - Incorporation of two or more ferrocenyl moities in metal complexes are an important means of synthesizing molecules in which the effect of electronic communication between the metal centers of the ferrocenes can be studied. Multinuclear metallocene complexes have been extensively studied for potential applications in molecular electronics . Several applications like multielectron redox catalysts and electron storage devices have been found for oligomeric ferrocene derivatives. Various ferrocen , Transition metal phosphine cluster chemistry - Synthesis and characterization of higher nuclear transition metal phosphine cluster and their behavior towards electronic communication. Different types of interactions and hence reactivity features are dependent on the nature of metal composition of the cluster framework. As a consequence, the chemistry of mixed-metal clusters has shown tremendous growth with the aim of understanding the role of individual metal atoms in the overall cooperative effects of the different metal atoms within the c , Transition Metal-Main Group nanomaterial and its application - Synthesis of single source precursor and nanoparticle preparation using solvothermal , CVD and decomposition method. Applications on photocatalysis, HER, OER, and antenna based material
