Nominator's project description

Professor Mandal is a leading expert in molecular chemistry and internationally well known for his outstanding research in metal-free carbon dioxide. He has made seminal contributions to the field of single-electron transfer reduction of carbon dioxide. Professor Mandal has developed facile access to a variety of tunable polycyclic aromatic carbon systems. During his stay in Germany, he intends to synthesize new phenalenyl ligands for the coordination of earth-abundant metals.Professor Mandal is a leading expert in molecular chemistry and internationally well known for his outstanding research in metal-free carbon dioxide.
