WELCOME TO SUPRAMAGNETISM

Debopam Sarkar

I am currently working as a PhD Student in Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in the field of molecular magnetism in metallosupramolecular complexes. Metal-ion-directed assembly is a common feature of the creation of functional supramolecular entities. There are well-defined entities composed of a discrete number of ligands and metal ions, examples of which include, in not necessarily mutually exclusive categories, metalloproteins, helical structures (e.g. G-quartets and helicates), grids, racks squares/ rectangles, metallamacrocycles, capsules and cages, and moreover, entities composed of a nondiscrete number of ligands and metal ions, such as metallosupramolecular polymers. Careful design as well as tuning the ligand field can effect their physicochemical/supramolecular properties, and finally their potential utility as nanostructured materials with high-tech applications.
