My Research Interests
Photoredox Catalysis
-
Homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysis for organic reactions: Oxidation, Reduction, Cycloaddition, C-C, C-N, C-O, C-S etc. bond formation under visible light aided photocatalytic condition.
​
-
Development of newer photocatalysts and their applications towards green chemistry and organic transformations.
Selective Bond activation
-
Design and synthesis of selective catalysts towards the depolymerization of natural & synthetic non-biodegradable polymers through selective bond (C-C, C-O etc.) cleavage to get value added fine chemicals.
​​
-
Reaction mechanistic investigation with isotope labeling studies, trapping of the reactive intermediates and experiment on kinetics.
Catalysis for discovery of new reactions
-
Development of self separable homogeneous catalysts.
​​
-
Deoxygenative pathway towards hydrogen production from water.
​
-
Deoxygenative alkylation with alcohol.
