Chemical and Biological Crystallography

Chemical and Biological Crystallography Laboratory focuses on the following research areas:

1. Synthesis and physico-chemical characterizations of organic molecules and their detailed structural investigations for the discovery of novel multifunctional materials: NLO, ferroelectric, semiconductor, optoelectronic etc.
2. Visible light induced catalyst/sensitizer-free photodimerization of olefins
3. Structure property relationship and polymorphic investigation of organic optical materials in “push-pull” chromophores
4. Quantitative studies of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction energies via protein charge density analysis
5. Charge density analysis for drug design
6. Protein and quantum crystallography
