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.


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.
