The directing group assisted site selective C-H functionalization approach is having a continuous impact in the field of natural product synthesis, drug discovery and material sciences. While ortho-selective C-H functionalization ...

Synthetic and structural studies of Pd(II) and Au(I) complexes of a new O-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, namely, 1-(o-methoxybenzyl)-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene, are reported. Specifically, the N-heterocyclic ...

Site selective C-H bond activation/C-C bond formation is an ideal target for organic chemists owing to the ubiquitous nature of C-H bonds in natural products. A particular aryl C-H bond can be predictably activated by a ...

The fewest switches surface hopping method continues to grow in popularity to capture electronic nonadiabaticity and quantum nuclear effects due to its simplicity and accuracy. Knowing the basics of the method is essential ...

Last decade has seen emergence of particle shape as a critical design parameter to overcome several long standing problems associated with particulate drug delivery-non-specific drug effects, RES uptake, poor bioavailability, ...

The urbanization and comfort in the living standards of human beings have shown a tremendous increase in the energy demand around the globe. The building sector is one of the major sectors which consumes about 40% of the ...

Microbes have proved useful to us in many different ways. To utilize microbes, we have mostly focused on maximizing growth, to improve yield of chemicals derived from the microbes. However, to truly tap into their potential, ...

The complicated photophysics of wide variety of defects existing in silica (sio2) layer of nanometer thickness determines widespread photoluminescence bands of si/sio2 based system as well as sio2 nanoparticles (nps) for ...

Quorum sensing, or the ability of a population, to respond to an environmental cue in a coordinated manner has made fundamental changes about how we understand bacterial physiology. In this framework, a population, once ...
