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.
In this research, a wide variety of techniques are employed for the
characterization of the prepared compounds. X-ray crystallography, powder
diffraction, mass spectrometry and various forms of spectroscopy (IR, UV-vis,
EPR and NMR) are used to probe the structure and bonding. Cryomagnetic
measurements are used to understand the magnetic behaviour of the multinuclear,
polymeric and supramolecular species. Redox properties are investigated by
electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse
voltammetry and coulometry.
