     Our Research 

 

  • We are trying to synthesize coordination / organometallic compounds which can act as catalysts in various reactions 

 

  • We are developing nano catalytic systems for various organic transformations

 

  • Our research group also aims at developing transition metal complexes which can bind with DNA and protein.
