Indian Institutes for Science and Technology
Council For Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR): This was
established in 1942 and provide funds for science and
technology.
Department of Science and Technology (DST): This was
established in 1971 and provide funds to promote science and
technology research.
Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) in
Kolkata: This was founded in 1876 and the work for the
Nobel Prize in Physics to C.V. Raman was conducted in this
institute.
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore: This was
established in 1899 for higher educational research.
Indian Institutes for Science and Technology
National Institute of Technology (NITs): They are autonomous institute
for studying engineering. There are 31 NITs located all over the India.
Indian Institute of Technology (IITs): They are autonomous institute for
higher studies in science and engineering. Total 18 of this type of institute
are functioning and 5 new institutes will be established soon.
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER):
Autonomous institute for advanced research in science. There are 6 of
such institute are functioning now 2 more will be started soon.
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR): Two of this type of
institues are functioning now. They have been founded by Tata industrial
group for advancement of science.
Apart from those upper mentioned institution there are many more
universities and institutes where students from abroad can study.
My Research Career
Bachelor of Science (B. Sc):
Vidyasagar University, India
Master of Science (M. Sc.): Indian
Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-
Kanpur), India
Doctor of Natural Sciences (Dr. rer. nat.): NRW International Graduate
School of Chemistry, Westfälische
Wilhelms-Universität Münster,
Germany
Current Position: JSPS Postdoctoral
Associate, Chubu University Japan
Europe
International Students
NRW International Graduate School of Chemistry
Provides funding to foreign students to go to Germany and and
conduct research in chemistry. They have similar graduate schools
for Biology, Medicine and other branches of science also.
Though deutsch is national language in Germany, English is well
accepted from those programs!!!
I belonged to this graduate school to pursue my doctoral study.
Berlin International Graduate School of Natural Science
and Engineering
Welcomes international students for higher studies in the
universities in Berlin. All the programs are in English!!!
Learning english is the Key to explore the world!!!
Chemistry for Mankind
Medicines for Fever, Headache, etc…
Famous Scientists from Japan
Professor Ryoji Noyori
Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001
“For his work on chirally catalyzed hydrogenation reactions”
Professor Hideki Shirakawa
Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000
“For the discovery and development of conductive
polymers”
Koichi Tanaka
Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2002
“For development of soft desorption ionisation methods for
mass spectrometric analyses of biological
macromolecules”
He was born in Toyama City, Japan!!!
Famous Scientists from Japan
Professor Ei-ichi Negishi
Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010
“for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic
synthesis” : Known as Negishi Coupling !!!
Professor Takaaki Kajita
Awarded Nobel Prize in Physics 2015
“for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which
shows that neutrinos have mass”
Professor Akira Suzuki
Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010
“for palladium-catalyzed cross couplings in organic
synthesis” : Known as Suzuki Coupling !!!
Chemistry
Catalysis
Catalyst is a substance that helps to synthesize a molecule in a easy way
This lowers the activation
energy of a reaction
A + B C

catalyst[A-catalyst]
[A-catalyst-B]

C
Catalytic cycle
**At the end of the reaction catalyst structure remains unchanged
Heterogeneous and Homogenious Catalysts
Heterogeneous Catalyst: Catalyst and reactants are
In two different phase
Homogeneous Catalyst: Catalyst and reactants are
in one phase
Heterogeneous Catalysis
**Catalyst facilitate the reaction but remains in different phase
**Reaction takes place at the surface of the catalyst
**Larger surface area will show high efficiency in catalysis
Haber-Bosch Process for Ammonia (NH3) Production
N2 (gas) + 3H2 (gas)
Metal catalystHigh PressureHigh Temperature
2NH3 (gas)
Advantage: Purification of product is very easy and reusable catalyst
Reaction on metal surface

catalyst catalyst
Homogeneous Catalysis
**Catalyst and reactants remain in one phase that means they are soluble in
the given solvent.
Example:
Glucose and fructose are produced by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of sugar
(sucrose)
**Catalyst substrate interaction is very good **The reaction rate is faster
Different Types of Homogeneous Catalysis
Some other example of transition metal catalyzed reactions:
Hydrogenation, Hydroformylation, …..
Advantages: High yield, Low catalyst loading
Disadvantage: Transition metals are toxic !!!!
Different Types of Homogeneous Catalysis
Organocatalysis
**Typical organic molecules serve as catalyst, no metal is actively involved in
the reaction
Traditional Medicine from Natural Sources
Quinine is extracted from the bark of
cinchona is used for the treatment of
Malaria. As this is extracted from natural
source, this is called natural product.
Representative example of other natural
products, isolated from marine algae
(Seaweed)
Marine Algae (Seaweed)
Catalytic Asymmetric Bromocyclization
Analytical Instruments
NMR: For structure determination of organic
molecule ESIMS: For determination of mass of a molecule
HPLC: Determine the purity of a sample
IR: Functional
group detection Rotary evaporator: Solvent
distillation
