Supramolecular chemistry for novel optical, electrical and magnetic material design with equal emphasis on organic

and inorganic chemistry. Self-assemblies of metal complexes, co-crystals and clusters are routinely studied in our

group. Sensing of ions, molecular recognition, conformational polymorph  and supramolecular catalysis are some

areas in which Prof. Baruah's group is interested in.  Group is actively engaged in layer-like  structures through non-

covalent interactions, encapsulation of guest in non-covalent assemblies, roles of weak interactions in controlling  reactivity and properties.  Solvent and stimuli guided reactions and changes in structures  are routinely studied

by the group. Contributing to the topics such as molecular inorganic complexes, various  meta-stable forms of  host-guest complexes, symmetry-non-equivalent molecules in unit cells, charge-assisted  hydrogen bonded self-assemblies and different pi-interactions contributing to emission properties. Various approaches to increase guest intake of energetic guests have been studied by the group. Dual emission and differentiation of optical properties of solid and solution chemistry is also a principal topic where attention is being put.
