Congratulations Amiya and Bhagyashree for their hard-work and perseverance
Our paper for Dalton Trans. got Accepted; Congratulations Bhagyashree and Amiya
News; Three years funding for OMCL group is approved by the STARS (Scheme for Transformational and Advanced Research in Sciences); great news for the group
PhD positions available
Our group is constantly looking for potential PhD students who can work in Organimetallics for Organic Synthesis, and Catalysts Design for small molecule activations; please contact: Dr. Doddi directly (adoddi@iiserbpr.ac.in)
Training: you will be trained:-
1) Synthetic work experience in organic synthesis
2) Ligands and catalysts design (of NHCs and Chiral Phosphines for asymmetric synthesis)
3) Cat. applications in activation of CO2, H2 and other novel organic transformations
4) Working with inert atmosphere Schlenk line and Glove Box manipulations
Our research group activities span a range of areas in modern-day organometallic chemistry. The focus is to design & development of novel and unusual organometallic molecular species with the main aim of their potential applications in homogeneous catalysis. We are broadly interested in developing suitable ligands (carbenes, pincers of various types) whose unique reactivity studied for mono/bimetallic complexes, these will be used for the small-molecule activations, and co-operative catalytic studies applied for organic transformations. The group investigates the emerging fields of organometallic main group chemistry to exploit their broad applications in the domain of Main Group Catalysis (Expensive-Nobel Metal-Free Catalysis) which is an alternative, inexpensive, and non-toxic chemical approach in various synthetic transformations. Besides, we also aim to develop novel single-source FLPs (Frustrated Lewis Acid-Base Pairs), and aqueous organometallic chemistry (organometallics in water media) for the exciting explorations in small molecule activation, and environmentally benign green catalytic approaches respectively.
Our work on copper(I) catalysis again accepted in Dalton Trans with cover invitation; Congratulations Amiya and Asish
