TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Serving as Assistant Professor at Bejoy Narayan Mahavidyalaya, Itachuna, Hooghly since 01.03.2016. Served as Assistant Professor at Sri Ramkrishna Sarada Vidya Mahapitha, Kamarpukur, Hooghly from 25.06.2007 to 29.02.2016

Course taught: UG (Honours and General)

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Awarded Ph.D: In Chemistry (Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry) on 25.11.2005 from Jadavpur University, Kolkata 700 032, India

Title of thesis: STUDIES ON THE COORDINATION CHEMISTRY OF THE METALS WITH SOME N,O,S-DONOR LIGANDS

Research area My research experience has developed mainly from the design and synthesis of new systems and study their reactivities. As the primary step I have prepared suitable new organic compound as 2

ligands, especially polydentate ones incorporating different donor sites. The obvious next objective has been to bind these ligands to selected metal ions to afford the targeted complexes, and study their gross structures, properties such as elemental analysis, electrochemical properties (cyclic voltammetry and constant potential coulommetry), spectral properties (NMR, EPR, IR, UV-VIS- NIR, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Mass spectroscpy) etc and reactivities. In every steps of purification of complexes and characterisation of them we have used different analytical techniques. I have done work on the metals in general and , , in particular. The significant part of my research work is (i) variable binding of multidonor ligands, (ii) interesting chemical transformation (cyclometallation), (iii) synthesis and characterisation of new potentially biologically important thiosemicarbazone complexes, (iv) synthesis of new organometallic complexes, (v) study the reactivity of the complexes, (vi) Design, synthesis, DNA binding study, DNA photocleavage activity and chemical nuclease activity of new artificial nucleases (molecules that cleave DNA) based mainly on metallo-polypyridyl complexes.
