Dr. VBG's Lab at CUTN

 What We Do !!​

• Synthesis, studies of structurally diverse diimines, imidazolium salts, NHCs and structurally similar molecules.

• Explore the scope of the synthesised molecules in metal mediated catalysis, as ionic liquids and for material applications such as sensors and energy storage.

​Why !!

      Basic Science: 

• To understand the reaction mechanisms, catalytic cycles and structural aspects.  

       Applications:

• Developing sustainable and cost effective metal mediated catalytic routes for important organic functional group transformations.

• Developing new synthetic strategies.

• Viable materials for technological applications such as sensors and energy materials

​      Training/Learning

Students gain hands-on experience in the following aspects.

• Synthesis, characterisation of organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds

• Material (nano) functionalisation chemistry and related aspects.

• Exposure and interpretation of results from the advanced characterisation techniques.
