We finish X with a scientific firework! Very proud of a brilliant team to finally publish our work on C(sp3)-atom transfer Science Magazine ! Thanks to European Research Council (ERC) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share our first paper of 2025 in Organometallics! We describe the scission of OH and CH bond by magnesium using MLC! Great team work by vishal sharma Rajesh Gonnade Soumya Ranjan Dash and Kumar Thanks CSIR, India CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory for support! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Farewell to Arpan, a BS-MS student from IISER tirupati, who joined our lab for MSc project. It was a pleasure having you with us- wishing you all the best for your next venture with Robert KretschmerLab ! CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory

We will be taking two PhD students this semester. Interested candidates with PhD fellowships (CSIR/UGC/INSPIRE) are encouraged to applying through AcSIR portal as well as send email to me. For more details, please visit our website: academic.ncl.res.in/ss.sen/profile

Thrilled to share our review on 6-NHCs-co-authored with Gargi kundu-is out in DaltonTransactions! Highlights the developments made in our lab & global advances. Dedicated to my PhD supervisor Prof. Herbert Roesky on his upcoming 90th birthday! CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

LOW-VALENT Si, Ge, Sn, Pb: HOW LOW CAN WE GO??? Hydrocarbon-soluble Mg(0) reduces Si all the way to Si(4-). Unfortunately not stable and decomposing to the HSi(3-) anion. However, Sn(4-) is stable and functions as 4-fold Nu or 8e reducing agent. Preprint: shorturl.at/4mH0O

So excited to share this work!! Special thanks to Sakya S. Sen for the invaluable guidance and support. Many congratulations to the team ✨🎉

Sometimes we work on Mn (not Mg) especially when Biswajit Saha helps us! A great collaborative work on borylation led by Prateeksha Ghanwat and duly supported by Rinu, deboshree, kumar published DaltonTransactions Thanks CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory CSIR-NEIST Anusandhan National Research Foundation pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This time it's magnesium! Our latest Inorganic Chemistry reports a Mg-catalyst that reduces all amides. Kudos to Biplab Mahata for the lead with solid support from Soumya Ranjan Dash, Devaraj, Kumar, Rajesh! Grateful to CSIR, India for funds!
