BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE Ph.D. WORK:

The main aim of my Ph.D. work is systematic elucidation of properties of kinetically stabilized heavier dipnictenes (RP=PR(diphosphene), RSb=SbR(distibene), RBi=BiR(dibismuthene), RSb=BiR(stibabismuthene), RP=BiR(phosphabismuthenes)).

CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS:

TS has taken an interest in the synthesis of novel π-electron conjugated systems containing heavier main group elements such as P=P and Si=Si units from the viewpoint of fundamental chemistry and material sciences.
