We are one of the young research groups at the Department of Chemistry at IIT-Tirupati. Our research is inspired by the fact that main group elements play a pivotal role in the functionality of molecules and materials across a wide range of applications including optoelectronics, sensors, imaging, environmental and medicinal chemistry. Our research focuses on the designing of novel π-conjugated organic molecular materials incorporated with main group elements (B, Si, N, P, O, S and Se) and investigate their structure-property correlations to get deeper insights into the fundamental understanding of these molecules. We utilize these molecules in applications such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and sensors. Besides, we plan to work on the boron rich carbon dots and study their properties and evaluate their potential for diverse applications.
