Signed: …………………… Date: ……………………. v Dedicated To My Respectable & Beloved Parents Lovely Son Khuzaima Beloved Wife Brothers and Sisters vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All the praises for Allah Who guides me in lacerate and congenial circumstances and Whose mercy and help is the pinnacle of my desires and wishes. All respects are for His Holly Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Pease Be Upon Him) Who showed me the path of knowledge and for His love to humanity. It is a matter of great pleasure and honour for me to express my deep sense of gratitude to Prof. Dr. Syeda Rubina Gilani, Chairperson, Department of Chemistry, University of Engineering and Technology Lahore for accepting me in her research group as a Ph.D student and for guidance, support and enthusiasm during my Ph.D study. I am also thankful to all worthy Professors of Chemistry Department, U.E.T Lahore for providing me guidance time to time when needed. I would like to thank to respected and honorable Prof. Vickie McKee, whose scholarly guidance, keen interest and encouragement has been a source of great help throughout my research at Loughborough university, Loughborough, UK. I am also thankful to Dr. Muhammet Kose for very good moments, chats, laughs and for his skilled guidance and encouraging attitude throughout my research work. With deep emotions of gratitude, I am also grateful to Mrs. Pauline King who provided me support, advice and training during the research and for running microanalysis for all my samples. It is very difficult to pay thanks in words to my class fellows especially Zulfiqar Ali, Habib Hussain, Dr. Amin Abid, Dr. Faiz Rubani and Dr. Asif Ali Tahir, for their incredible help, fraternal collaborations and sincere suggestions throughout my study and research work. I would also like to thank Higher Education Commission (H.E.C.) of Pakistan for funding my Ph.D degree. I am also grateful to my friends Aamir Ali Bajwa, M. Naeem Akhtar, M. Aamir Tufail, Asif Islam, Mahmood bajwa, Ghulam Akbar, Abid Hussain, Javed Iqbal and Chacha Sarfraz for their moral support. At the end, I acknowledge that my all success is due to my parents, my wife, my lovely son Khuzaima Ahmad, brothers and Sisters. It is due to their prayers that I am able to achieve this glory of success.
