I explored the syntheses, structures and properties of various inorganic coordination complex materials based on different N, N-N, N-S, N-P donor organic ligands. Major focuses were on the development of π-bonded organometallic compounds containing different meso-substituted dipyrrin ligands and study their synthetic stability, photophysical, electrochemical and catalytic properties.
