Abstract:
The work embodied in this thesis entitled "Analysis of catalytic activity of chromium and copper complexes derived from tridentate ligands" was initiated August, 2010.
The thesis consists of a preamble of the present work and two chapters. Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies of new mononuclear Cr(III) complexes derived from tridentate ligands is described in chapter 1. In chapter 2, Catalytic activity studies on mononuclear complexes of copper will be described.
All the ligands and complexes described in this thesis were characterized by spectral analysis.
In keeping with general practice of reporting scientific observations, due acknowledgement has been made of the findings of other investigators. I must take the responsibility of any unintentional oversights and error which might have crept in.
