Research summary
AI-generated

T. V. RajanBabu's research focuses on developing new catalysts, primarily based on cobalt, to control how molecules form in highly precise, mirror-image-specific (enantioselective) ways. This work involves designing chemical reactions such as cycloadditions, hydroborations, and hydrovinylations that build complex organic molecules with specific 3D shapes, which is important for applications like pharmaceutical synthesis. The lab also determines crystal structures to confirm the exact molecular arrangements produced by these reactions.
