Inorder to achieve the idea of going carbon negative, Coking has by far been the biggest practical hurdle. This was very effeciently overcome by a group of chemists who made use of a liquid catalyst ,a Gallium alloy Galistan, in the presence of

Photoelectrocatalytic arene C–H amination

May 5th, 2021 3m 44s

Phtoelectrochemical cells are those electrochemical cells, which work upon illumination. They are widely studied for conversion of solar energy to chemical energy. They work under mild conditions. But what if this is used to synthesis of organi

Hybrid Dynamic Windows using Reversible Metal Electrodeposition and Ion Insertion

Mar 30th, 2021 8m 2s

We are heavily dependent on nature to meet our energy requirements and our ever increasing needs has raised many concerns!Use of self tinting Dynamic windows is an innovative approach to minimise our energy consumption without having to compro

A Ketimide-Stabilized Palladium Nanocluster with a Hexagonal Aromatic Pd7 Core

Mar 10th, 2021 2m 24s

With the help of ketimides, which promote metal-metal bonding, Palladium nanocluster with symmetry and ring current similar to Benzene has been synthesized. For more information : DOI: 10.

Halogenated Anilines as Novel Natural products from Marine biofilm forming microalga

Sep 25th, 2020 3m 33s

Highly toxic haloanilines were thought to be of purely synthetic origin. But their discovery as Novel Natural Product has made us rethink the degradation mechanism of toxic harmful polymers. For further information- DOI : 10.1039/C9CC05992J

A natural solution to photoprotection and isolationof the potent polyene antibiotic, marinomycin A

Aug 12th, 2020 2m 43s

Marinomycin A, though a bioactive molecule, does not qualify to be a drug molecule because of its extreme light sensitivity. This hurdle can be overcome by encapsulating the molecule within the sporopollenin exine capsule derived from Lycopodiu

Self Deoxygenating Glassware

Aug 6th, 2020 3m 6s

Handling oxygen in reactions which do not require its presence is a very big challenge. Nature inspired technology of using Glucose Oxidase functionalized glassware stand as a ray of hope for conducting Oxygen sensitive reactions on industrial

Controlled Enantioselective Orientation of Chairal Molecules with an Optical Centrifuge

Jul 24th, 2020 2m 37s

Enantioselective Orientation of chairal molecules with the help of Optical centrifuge causes the unidirectional rotation of the most polarizable molecular axis and gives rise to an orienting torque. This leads to molecular orientation depending

On the origin of the extremely different solubilities of polyethers in water

Jul 23rd, 2020 3m

The difference in partial negative charge on the Oxygen atoms in Polyethers determine the water anchoring capacity of the molecule and thus their solubility. DOI :10.1038/s41467-019-10783-z
