The 26th CRSI-NSC meeting is attended by a large number of scientists, academicians and students from universities and academic/research institutions spread across the length and breadth of India. The meeting is attended by nearly 200 registered participants. The symposium has 34 lectures that include CRSI medal lectures, special lectures. More than 130 posters will be presented by faculty and students. The Royal Society of Chemistry, UK has been partnering with CRSI in organizing a one day symposium, along with the CRSI National Symposium over the years. This year also, there will be a CRSI-RSC symposium on February 6, 2020, preceding the CRSI National Symposium at Vellore. The main purpose of the NSC meeting is to create a platform where scientists, teachers and students across the country come together and discuss recent developments in the area of chemical sciences. Meetings like this that encompass all the domains of chemistry can help to build long lasting collaborative endeavours in the frontier areas of chemistry and its allied disciplines. We thank the CRSI governing body and council members for their valuable inputs and continuous encouragement. The credit of the success of this meeting shall go all the faculty members and students of the Department of Chemistry, VIT Vellore. We acknowledge our gratitude to The Chancellor, Vice-Presidents, Asst. Vice-President, Vice-Chancellor, Pro-VC, Registrar, and the Dean of SAS for their support. We thank the sponsors for their financial aid and support. Last but not the least, we thank all the participants who have travelled far to attend the symposium. We wish you a great time at VIT Vellore during the symposium Sincerely R Vijayaraghavan, Kaushik Chanda and Priyankar Paira (on behalf of the Organizing Team) 1 Organizing Committee Department of Chemistry, VIT Vellore S.

Sathyamurthy President of CRSI 11 Message from the President, Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) I am delighted that the Division of Chemical Sciences at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore has come forward to host the 26th CRSI National Symposium in Chemistry during February 7-9, 2020. This is the first time that the CRSI National Symposium is hosted by a private university. We are particularly pleased that VIT, an Institution of Eminence is hosting the event. On behalf of CRSI and on my own, I would like to express our gratitude to Professor R Vijayaraghavan and his colleagues for organizing the symposium consisting of several bronze, silver, gold and other CRSI medal lectures and invited lectures by different awardees and a special symposium on Materials. I could see that it is going to be an exciting event. We are pleased that Chemistry – An Asian Journal has brought out a special issue to celebrate 20 years of CRSI, founded by Professor C N R Rao. It will be released at the Symposium and it showcases the chemistry research in India. It is worth mentioning here that India is No. 3 (China (1), USA (2)) in terms of total number of publications in the world now. The Royal Society of Chemistry, UK has been partnering with CRSI in organizing a one day symposium, along with the CRSI National Symposium over the years. This year also, there will be a CRSI-RSC symposium on February 6, 2020, preceding the CRSI National Symposium at Vellore. With an ever increasing life membership and an increasing participation by young research scholars, each CRSI National Symposium reflects truly the state of chemistry in the country. There is a number of prizes to be won by young chemists for their work presented in the form of posters. Looking forward to a fruitful meeting in VIT Vellore, Yours sincerely, N. Sathyamurthy President, Chemical Research Society of India, Bengaluru 12 Message from Professor A.
