Harmful CO2 is converted into useful chemicals using an earth-abundant metal containing catalyst.
An increase in the CO2 level in the atmosphere causes global warming resulting in unpredicted climate change. DFT calculations reveal the spontaneity of the diaspore-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction compared to that of the diaspore-free reaction.

Director's Message

Prof. Soumitro Banerjee  Institutes of higher learning and research have a stellar role to play in modern society. They train the next generation of leaders poised to advance the country in science, technology and mathematics. To cultivate a sense of excellence among the students, these institutions must themselves excel in every area where they have a footprint.

The IISER system was created by the then Ministry of Human Resource Development (now Ministry of Education) to achieve excellence in the basic sciences.
