posted on 2017-08-13, 23:37 authored by RUPALI SHARMAThe main objective of my thesis is to build a better understanding of solution dynamics
of metal oxides at solid-solvent interface which is relevant to heterogeneous catalysis and
minerals. To accomplish this, I have investigated aqueous behavior of model complexes
such as polyoxometalates (POMs). Central to my research is the use of NMR which is an
effective and powerful tool to resolve the reaction dynamics of polyoxometalates in solution.
Simultaneously, I have also investigated theoretical predictions of NMR chemical shifts in
polyoxometalates to complement experimental measurements.
