Phosphonate and Phosphate

In my doctoral research, I have involved in the synthetic development of new phosphonic acids and phosphate ligands and the interaction of these ligands with various main group-, transition metal ions and organotin precursors. The metal aggregates thus prepared were structurally and spectroscopically characterized. These aggregates were shown to be good single molecular precursors for material purpose. Ceriumphosphonate were utilized as catalyst for prepare pharmaceutically valuable functionalized dihydropyrimidines (three-component Biginelli reaction).  All the di-nuclear metal aggregates were found to be artificial nucleases.

Metal Thiolates

In my post-doctoral research at Alabama University, I have synthesized various thiol-based ligands and the interaction of these ligands with soft-metals like Lead, Cadmium and Zinc. Among them lead aggregate were found to be semiconductor.

Organoborane

In my current post-doctoral research I have prepared several Donor-Acceptors, Donor-Pi-Acceptors molecule by using diarylammine (Lewis base) as donor and diarylborane (Lewis acid) as acceptor. Thus prepared molecules were well characterized structurally and spetroscopically. All of them were shows interesting optoelectronic properties in both solution and solid state.
