    Coordinatively unsaturated metal centers may interact with a C-H bond of a coordinated ligand and then undergo C-H bond activation or fission to form metallacycles.
  • Styx Numbers and Rules of Boron Hydrides 
    Perera, K. Sarath. D. (Institute of chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Boron hydrides are a class of electron deficient compounds that have unusual bonding behavior and form cages and clusters. The electron deficient BH3 is the simplest boron hydride which exists as a dimer B2 H6 ...
  • Defense and Destruction: Insight of Chemical-based Weapons 
    Perera, K. Sarath D. (Institute of chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Coordinatively unsaturated metal centers may interact with a C-H bond of a coordinated ligand and then undergo C-H bond activation or fission to form metallacycles.
  • Corrosion and Its Consequences 
    Priyantha, Namal (Institue of Chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Corrosion is the gradual deterioration of material, usually a metal, by chemical or electrochemical oxidation with their environment. It is a natural, thermodynamically favorable process. Rusting, the formation of iron ...
  • Diels-Alder Reaction 
    Perera, K. Sarath. D. (Institute of chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Diels-Alder (D-A) reaction is a (4π+2π) cycloaddition reaction. It is used to generate six-membered rings by combining two π-systems. The key components of this reaction are a conjugated diene (an alkene with two π-bonds) ...
  • Phytochemical Aspects of Onions - Allium cepa L. 
    Perera, K.Sarath D; Theeshya Dulmini, A. D (Institue of Chemistry Ceylon, 2023-06)
    Onion (Allium cepa) is known as “Queen of the Kitchen” as it is an irreplaceable ingredient in most of the Asian cuisines [1]. Global production of onions is more than 90 million tons per year; China and India ...
  • Seminar on Advanced Technologies in Food Chemistry 
    Weerasinghe, Laksiri (Institute of chemistry Ceylon, 2023-01)
    A seminar on ‘Advanced Technologies in Food Chemistry’, organised by the trainee workshop and seminar committee, was held on the 22nd of February 2023 in the premises of the Adamantane House, Institute of Chemistry ...
  • Advanced Applications of Poly (lactic acid) 
    Aluthge, Dinesh C (Institue of Chemistry Ceylon, 2023-01)
