About Us...

The area of our research is interdisciplinary in nature comprising the fields of synthetic Inorganic, Organometallic, Polymer and Materials Chemistry. Currently, we are interested on the following topics: (a) Design and synthesis of wire like organometallic complexes for electronic communication and NIR absorbance (b) Design of multifunctional terpyridyl conjugates (c) Synthesis and application of functional metallopolymers for its emerging application in optoelectronic devices (d) Design and synthesis of monometallic complexes for sustainable chemistry and bimetallic complexes for tandem catalysis. (e) Synthesis and application of conductive π-conjugated p-type and n-type copolymers (f) Developing novel routes to access multifunctional side-chain metallopolymers .
