Design synthesis and functional studies of biomolecule based coordination polymers

Abstract

The main idea behind this thesis is to develop different functionalized biomolecule based metal biomolecule framework MbioF by following a number of synthetic protocols and to comprehend in depth structure property correlation which is absolutely crucial in order to exhibit different application oriented properties as an outcome of the strategic rationale that encompasses and determines the synthetic methodology designed for producing such materials During my PhD tenure exploration of various functional properties in the domain of biomolecule based metal organic frameworks MOFs or coordination polymers CPs has taken these polymeric advanced materials to an escalating height Newly designed biomolecule based ligands have been used to prepare robust as well as dynamic metal organic frameworks of different dimensions employing transition metal ions under solvothermal and ambient conditions Consequently the functional aspects of these MbioFs have been the prime focus behind the development of some target oriented applications Nevertheless a deep insight is indeed required to attain the requisite understanding of the diverse correlation aspects controlling and in a way single handedly directing the properties as an outcome of the minute alterations in the structural nature of these materials This structure property correlation has been our main guiding principle throughout the work in presented in this thesis while choosing several biologically important molecules to fervently exploit their intrinsic properties while these eventually constitute the polymeric framework newline newline
