#internationalchildrenbookday . An appreciation post for the contribution of 3 generations of Ray family to #BengaliLiterature for children. Their work might never receive enough appreciation internationally: they'll live through us and, hopefully, through next generations! 💫

It took us more than a year to publish this paper. It is hard to image that it is about COVID. authors.elsevier.com/a/1fKUn_55HFQh…

This is another COVID drug discovery paper from us. Please note that there are multiple ways to improve nirmetrelvir, the active ingredient in Paxlovid. A systematic exploration of boceprevir-based main protease inhibitors ... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you missed the National Science Day celebrations Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, or just want to relive the day again, here's a run thru the day in just about a minute! Enjoy the wow!! #scicomm (Vid courtesy Aditya Shrivastava, TIFR) And yes, TIFR rocks!!

The danger is that if we invest too much in developing Al and too little in developing human consciousness, the very sophisticated artificial intelligence of computers might only serve to empower the natural stupidity of humans.

Anyone here fond of Pt(IV) or gyroscopes? We did string them together in as many as four new complexes characterized by classical spectroscopies and X-ray structures. Curious about the addition of more number of ligands did not impede their rotation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A big day for "carbyne"- the elusive sp carbon allotrope. It literally took decades of synthetic expertise from chemists around the globe to make functional equivalent of that enthralling "all carbon" gem! (1/4) pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

You seldom see deprotonation of terminal polyynes as opposed to that of an alkyne counterpart. Here we go! Please check out my latest contribution Organometallics . The lithiation poses numerous mechanistic puzzles, yet we could successfully (1/2)pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Major life update!! Happy to share that I’ve officially graduated! Grateful for the support and looking forward to the next chapter. 🎓🚀 #Graduation #TAMU #tamuchemistry #NewBeginnings

It's 10:20 and people are protesting on the road in every part of Kolkata! And rarely any media is showing this ! Less than 2 hours left for independence day and so many citizens are on road fighting for justice fighting for independence! #JusticeForMoumita

Here's our tribute to Prof. Thomas Strassner's 60th birthday issue in JOMC! We present a series of triethylsilyl capped polyyne; TESCxTES, once thought unisolable, now characterized by NMR and X-ray structures. Polyynes are on the roll in Texas! doi.org/10.1016/j.jorg…

Excited to share that I’ll be joining the University of Tennessee Knoxville as an assistant professor this fall! I’ll be looking for grad students and postdocs—if you’re into theoretical chemistry or materials science, feel free to reach out ([email protected])
