Department of Chemistry
Research at Department of Chemistry
- Thrust Areas of research: Nano-Chemistry, Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Bio-Inorganic Chemistry, Photo-Chemistry, Spectroscopy
Our department is actively involved in research in frontier areas of Chemistry and recognized as Research department under Calicut University. The focused areas are Heterocyclic synthesis, Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics, Green Chemistry, Spectral and Magnetic studies of molecules and materials. Detailed description of chemistry group is given below.
Synthetic group
The synthetic group is mainly involved in the synthesis of organic molecules of interest in Electro- and Photoactive molecules which may find applications in molecular devices. Another area of interest is the synthesis and studies of Photoactive and biologically important compounds. Mechanistic investigations and designing the GREENER route for synthesis are also in the focus. The synthetic group is also interested in Organic Synthesis, covering Asymmetric synthesis, Organocatalysis and Organic Photochemistry.
Physical Chemistry group
Three faculties are actively involved in the design and studies of electrochemical properties of molecules and materials at the nano dimension by making use of different synthetic approaches. The thrust areas being the electronic and photoactive material for energy and sensing applications by making use of the above mentioned materials.
Inorganic Chemistry group
Major focus is on the synthesis of inorganic molecules and nanostructured materials for Biological applications, for eg. Antimicrobial activity, degradation of pollutants etc.
