Welcome to our research group website. We are located in the Department of Chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore. Our group’s research interests are based on development of new approaches to functional organic molecule synthesis and the influence of non-covalent interactions on structure and function from biology to chemistry to nanosciences. Our group is focused on multidisciplinary research involving techniques in chemistry, biology and nanosciences. The group has a long-standing interest on medicinal chemistry and electrocatalytic applications of synthesized self-assembled molecular materials.

The thrust areas of our research include

` Chemical reactions directed molecular self-assembly

` Selenium-based heterocycles in energy and medicinal chemistry

` Electrocatalysis

` Bio-chemical sensors

` Covalent organic polymers
