Research Focus
For the past few years, we have been interested in the development of new polydentate ligands particularly those containing carboxamidopyridine. This group [-C(O) NH-] present in the primary structure of proteins, in an important ligand construction unit. These ligands coordinate with transition metals to yield complexes of varying nuclearities, structures and interesting magnetic properties. Our research interests also involve the synthesis and structural characterization of organotin compounds containing anions of highly strong acids such as SO3F, CF3SO3, AsF6, SbF6 etc.
