What We are Doing?
Harnessing the power of light to drive chemical transformations: As the world moves towards sustainable chemistry, light in the visible region is fast becoming the source of choice. Able to conjure up seemingly impossible transformations under mild conditions, photocatalysis has truly captured the essence of futuristic Organic Chemistry. As a group we strive everyday to incorporate the usage of light as a means of uncovering currently hidden paths of organic synthesis.
ABC
Light in Organic Synthesis
The sun powers life on this planet, providing as much energy every hour as human civilization uses every year! In a similar analogy, light powers organic reactions in today’s world. With its humble beginnings in Prof. Ciamician’s laboratory in Bologna, photochemistry as the field is known, has come a long way, making giant strides in a surprisingly short amount of time. In the present day, light has become a tool for unlocking hidden pathways and triggers in molecules, leading to unprecedented transformations..
