Photocatalysis: Cage receptors are potential to generate suitable micro environments to host various guest substrates selectively through supramolecular interactions, like, hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding, columbic interaction, π-π stacking interaction etc. We carefully design and synthesize various well-organized multi-functional heteroditopic macrocycles/bicycles that assist catalytic pathways toward desired regio/stereoselective products formation. We are also interested in photo-active metal complexes (mainly ruthenium and iridium complexes) to develop novel organic methodologies (Organocatalysis). We are further focusing on development of unimolecular bimetallic photocatalysts for newer catalytic activities which can eventually be used in natural product or drug molecules synthesis in visible light.
