Research Interests 
The research group of Prof. S. Pal is involved in synthetic, structural and mechanistic aspects of transition metal chemistry. The general areas of interest are: 
  • Complexes of high-valent metal ions. 
  • Multinuclear redox-active complexes of possible biological relevance. 
  • Coordination polymers and supramolecular species. 
  • Complexes with unusual coordination geometry. 
  • Organometallic compounds and their applications.
