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
