Can we turn CO₂ into something useful and make clean chemicals at the same time? TIFR researchers Payal Allawadhi & Deepa Khushalani have built a distinctive electrolyzer that does just that—producing formate and hydrogen peroxide in a redox reaction, using the same electrolyte!

Congratulations Komal Thawrani for the wonderful paper that got released in JMCA issue...our first in the journal, and on our 14th Lab anniversary Tata Institute of Fundamental Research 😊😊😊🎉🎉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thrilled to see this paper out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Discovery of Fe(IV)-superoxo led to NO binding which models NO dioxygenase (NOD) activity. Big congrats to Puja De #Prabhakar Sayam Sen Gupta Koli's Group (Bio-Inspired & Biomimetic Catalysis) Tata Institute of Fundamental Research IISER Kolkata IISER Tirupati Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales Madrid - CSIC pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New work by @ShashiGomi shows we only need a water-soluble nanocage and CT interactions to force stilbene to a "unidirectional" catalytic photoisomerization, without photostationary states Tata Institute of Fundamental Research thank you Ayan Datta #Shovan Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Happy to share my first first-author paper from my PhD where we demonstrate that the SF rate is dictated by the TT stabilization in the dimer backbone by changing the electronic coupling...Although the monomer doesn't follow the energy criteria .. Jyotishman Dasgupta pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

David MacMillan at the The Nobel Prize Dialogue in India last week: “You want to talk about hope? We’re one catalytic reaction away from solving climate change. That’s absolutely true.”

The first oxidative photocatalysis by Phenalenylmolecule in water is out J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Reactivity is derived from the cage-confined PLY radical. Congratulations to the fantastic Debojyoti Roy and #ParamitaDatta from Swadhin Mandal's group IISER Kolkata Tata Institute of Fundamental Research pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thrilled to share my first publication in JACS! Grateful to everyone who made this science adventure possible 🙏. Jyotishman Dasgupta J. Am. Chem. Soc. Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
