Research Interest

  • Metal Oxide composites

    • Sythesis of mixed metal oxide based pervoskites materials as well as their thin film on various substrates.

    • Application: Dielectric material, Magnetic switches/sensors, Electrode materials for fuel cells, catalysis

  • Organometallic Chemistry

Half-Sandwich arene-ruthenium, cyclopentadienyl ruthenium/Rhodium/ Iridium complexes, Hydridocarbonyl

complexes

Application: As catalyst (assymetric synthesis), As metallo-ligand, in biology, supramolecular assembling.

Supramolecular Chemistry

Self-organization of metal complexes through non-covalent interactions has great potential in creating supramolecular

architectures with well-defined structures and functions. In this context, I have developed a number of coordination building

blocks that are able to form large structural motifs by weak interactions including H-bonding and π-π stacking interactions.

Application: Chemical sensing (ions/molecules), magnetic material (tuning of magnetic property), drug delivery.

  • Nanomaterials

Mono- and bimetallic nanoparticle, oxide supported nanoparticles, Metal-organic Framework supported nanoparticles,

synthesis of thin films, Immobilization of homogeneous catalyst.

Application: in organic catalysis, catalytic decomposition of chemical hydrogen storage materials such as ammonia borane, hydrazine, formic acid

and hydrazine-borane and other applications

  • Development of new chemical hydrogen storage materials
