Research Interests
My resaerch interests include the synthesis of highly unstable molecules under normal comditions. These molecules contain carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen with double and triple bonds. We elucidate these molecules using these molecules using Microwave, High Resolution Infra Red and Photoelectron spectroscopy. As both Temperature and Pressure are very low in the Intersellar Medium, so these molecules are expected to be stable and abundant there. So we use their paramers we obtained in the laboratory like their rotational constants to identify them in the Interstellar Medium. I investigate also the intermolecular forces between molecules and solvents in solution using spectroscopy and/or adsorption technique.
My research interests also include theoretical chemistry where I use Quantum Mechnics to optimize the geometry of Known and unknown molecules to study thier energies through a complete statistical thermodynamical anaysis which also consists of thier symmetry and vibrational modes.
I am also interested in studying environmental air and land pollution with heavy elements in big cities and radioactive elements pollution in the sea.
