Atharwin Labs 33 Annexure X: Scientific Contributions Jayathirtha Rao’s research focus is on design of simple organic molecules experience polarization or charge transfer or zwitterion formation in the singlet excited state giving rise to several novel phenomena. Charge phenomena in photochemically excited olefins were established through photochemical E-Z (trans-cis) isomerization involving: (1) Ionic-photodissociation; (2) Discovery of “quantum-chain isomerization”; (3) Regioselective isomerization; (4) Oneway isomerization; (5) Fluorescence solvatochromism; (6) Wavelength dependent photoisomerization and (7) selective formation of thermodynamically less stable “Z” isomer. Significance of excited state charge phenomena is elegantly demonstrated by making organic materials having optical applications like (i) Non Linear Optics; (ii) Solar Cells; (iii) Organic Light Emitting Devices; (iv) Organic Near Infrared Absorbing Dyes; (v) Photoacid Generators. “Molecule – Material – Device” concept demonstrated. Organic photochemistry laboratory established, photochemical processes were developed and technology transferred. Synthesis of new chemical entities carried out, having pharmaceutical and agrochemical significance using “scaffold” and “structure” based approaches. Established a group for the synthesis of heterocycles having biological activity. Pesticide processes were developed and technologies transferred. Involved in the commisoning of the reactor at the clients factory. Analytical methods developed using HPLC for drugs and drug formulations. Strategic material processes developed and evaluation of photoresists established. Involved as a team member in Organization for Prohibition of Chemicals of Warfare (OPCW) project, where IICT earned a Global recognition Initiated research on emerging technologies like Organic Solar Cells and Light Emitting Devices. Several overseas projects handled and completed successfully. Femto Laser Facility Creation at IICT Collaborated with Physicists, Biologists, Microbiologists, Chemical Eng., Electronic Engg., Design Engg., Pharmacologists, ........ 34 Annexure XI: Contributions: Administrative/ Management Popularization of Science/ Teaching is a fascination and taught chemistry courses at several places.
