CY7220 : CHEMISTRY OF NOVEL MATERIALS
Physical Chemistry
- Chemistry today, an overview-molecular materials, functional materials, nanomaterials, new techniques for microscopic investigation.
- Clusters, gas phase spectroscopy, metallic clusters, tools for their study.
- Fullerenes, discovery electronic structure spectroscopy, chemistry, derivatives, novel properties, superconductivity, orientational ordering associated properties, carbon nanotubes, onions, new forms of carbon.
- Organic monolayers, L-B films, self assembly, techniques to study thickness, molecular properties , chemistry with LB and SAM film. Novel polymeric materials, conducting polymers.
- Metal-carbon clusters, metallocarbohedrenes, gas phase chemistry.
- Semiconductor nanocrystals, quantum dots, electronic structure, spectroscopy.
- Mesoporous solids, new materials for catalysis.
The Department of Chemistry is one of the first Departments to function after the Indian Institute of Technology Madras was founded in 1959
