PUBLICATIONS (Lists & Links)

• CHEMIST: (Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry; Experience: since 1986)
  • PHOSPHORUS CHEMISTRY: ** (Extensive Details available here)
    | Introduction | Chemistry | Mechanisms | Uses | Problems | Literature |
  • Silicon Chemistry
  • Phosphazene Chemistry
  • Coordination Chemistry
• X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHER: ** (Experience: since 1989)
          Edited a Free Access Online book (Dec-2011): "Current Trends in X-ray Crystallography"
• NMR SPECTROSCOPIST: (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P & ²⁹Si 1-D NMR): (Experience: since 1992)
• INSTRUMENTS OPERATOR:
  • Agilent Parameter Analyzer (FET Mobility)
  • Keithley Instruments and Newport Solar Simulator (Solar Cell Efficiency)
  • Newport Quantum Efficiency Measurement System (Solar Cells)
  • Hitachi U-3400 UV Spectrometer
  • Bio-Rad (FT) and Perkin-Elmer 597 IR Spectrometers
  • Heraeus CHN-O-Rapid Elemental Analyzer
  • Bruker DPX-300, ACF-200, AF-200 and MSL-300 NMR Instruments.
  • Waters HPLC Instrument
  • Enraf-Nonius CAD4 Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer (~220 Structures during NOV-1989-NOV-1999)
  • Nonius KappaCCD Single Crystal X-ray Diffractometer (660 datasets during JAN-2000-DEC-2011)
• COMPUTERS USER: PCs (Windows/DOS), some UNIX/Linux/Mac and VAX, PDP, IBM RISC-6000.
• FORTRAN Programer:
  • XTALDB.FOR ** To handle the recent KappaCCD's high output of datasets, this small database program has been written. It stores some sample, cell and data information in ascii database and currently searches on cell, formula, crystal code. Also it generates summary for: Space Groups, User/Group and Annual data.
  • CIF2INS.FOR ** Creates .INS (and .HKL) files for SHELXS (and SHELXL) from KappaCCD's IMPORT.CIF file.
  • XRAYACS.FOR ** CAD4 Single crystal X-ray data processing (Intensity calculation, LP correction & absortion corrections; either F or F²). More than 1500 lines.
  • SELECT.FOR ** To select strong reflections in desired angle range for refining the cell.
  • CHIACS.FOR ** For selecting reflections for PSI data collection (Symmetry equivalents can be searched upto orthorhombic only).
  • DATAFALL.FOR ** To study the fall of intensity as a function of Theta.
  • FOFC.FOR ** To convert the CIF format Fo-Fc output of SHELXL-93 to three reflections per line for WINWORD.
  • CHNACS.FOR ** Calculation of elemental % from Empirical Formula
  • NMRTC.FOR ** Calculation of activation energy from NMR Tc (Coalescense Temperature) and frequency difference; it can back calculate where the Tc will be for peaks for which Tc was not observed but activation energy has been calculated from other peaks.
