Book review: Reading new India: post-millennial Indian fiction in English
No full text"Reading New India: Post-Millennial Indian Fiction in English." E. Dawson Varughese. Bloomsbury. February 2013. --- The book describes how Indian fiction has moved beyond notions of ‘postcolonial’ writing to reflect an increasingly confident and diverse cultures by exploring the work of such writers as Aravind Adiga (author of the Man-Booker Prize winning White Tiger), Usha K.R. and Taseer. Emily Coolidge Toker finds the the splendor and the misery of Reading New India is that it whets the appetite for the fiction it introduces but necessarily fails to satiate the appetite thus awakened
Diaminotriazine substituted diphenyl ether: reversible structural transformation and solvent dependent solid state fluorescence
No full textThe effect of molecular shape and position of hydrogen bonding functionality in the solid state structural self-assembly was investigated using diaminotriazine substituted diphenyl ether based positional isomers (1-5). The molecular shape was modulated by changing diaminotriazine position that produced channel supramolecular structures in 1, 3 and 5. There exists a direct correlation between the molecular shape and three dimensional structures; more linear molecules resulted in close-packing whereas molecules with a labyrinthine topology formed a channel structure. Supramolecular aspects pertaining to the influence of solvent of crystallization in structure formation and reversible structural transformation in solid state were also explored. 1-5 exhibited tunable solid state fluorescence (lambda(max) = 437-496 nm) depending on the diaminotriazine substitutional position and 3 showed solvent-dependent solid state fluorescence. The present study describes the generation of a supramolecular channel structure with functional properties such as tunable fluorescence by varying the position of hydrogen bond functionality and solvent of crystallization
Reading New India: post-millennial Indian fiction in English
No full textReading New India is an insightful exploration of contemporary Indian writing in English. Exploring the work of such writers as Aravind Adiga (author of the Man-Booker Prize winning White Tiger), Usha K.R. and Taseer, the book looks at how the 'new' India has been recreated and defined in an English Language literature that is now reaching a global audience. The book describes how Indian fiction has moved beyond notions of 'postcolonial' writing to reflect an increasingly confident and diverse cultures.
Reading New India covers such topics as:
•Representations of the city - from Mumbai to Calcutta
•Young India - from Chick Lit to Blog Novels
•Genre fiction - crime novels, science fiction and fantasy
•Bollywood adaptations and Graphic Novels.
Including a chronological time-line of major social, cultural and political reforms, biographies of the major authors covered, further reading and a glossary of Hindi terms, this book is an essential guide for students of contemporary world literature and postcolonial writing
Structural and Spectral Investigations of Transition Metal Complexes Of Di-2-Pyridyl Ketone N (4), N (4)-Disubstituted Thiosemicarbazones
No full textThe study deals with structural and spectral investigations of transition metal complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4),N(4)-disubstituted thiosemicarbazones. The main objective and scope of the work deals with di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4),N(4)-disubstituted thiosemicarbazones are quardridentate NNNS donor ligands. To chosen this ligand for study because, the ligands are prepared and characterized for the first time, since there are two pyridyl nitorgens, dimmers and polymers of complexes may result leading to interesting structural aspects. The work includes the preparation of the thiosemicarbzones and their structural and spectral studies, synthesis and spectral characterization of complexes of copper(II),,nickel(II),manganese(II), dioxovanadium(V),cobalt(III),zinc(II),cadmium(II) of the ligand HL, synthesis and spectral characterization of complexes of copper(II),manganese(II), of the ligand HL and the development of X-ray quality crystals and its X-ray diffraction studies. The structural characterization techniques are elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic measurements, electronic spectroscopy, H NMR spectroscopy, Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography

Novel binuclear copper(II) complexes of di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4)-methyl, N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone: Structural and spectral investigations
No full textFour binuclear complexes ,, and (where Hdptsc = di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4)-methyl,N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone) have been synthesized and physicochemically characterized. Each Cu(II) atom in the monomeric unit exists in a penta-coordinate environment. The molecular structures of and are resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both the crystals are centrosymmetric dimers where each ligand unit coordinates through one of the pyridyl nitrogens, azomethine nitrogen and thiolate sulfur to Cu(II). A distorted square pyramidal geometry is observed around Cu(II)for both the complexes, where the N(2) nitrogen of the second ligand unit coordinates to the first Cu(II) center in compound 2 and N(6)nitrogen of the azido group bridges both the Cu(II) centers in compound3. Spectral characterization corroborate the structural studies

No full textNeutral copper(II) complexes with a tetradentate NNNS Schiff base have been synthesized using the ligand, di-2-pyridyl ketone N(4),N(4)-(butane-1,4-diylthiosemicarbazone (HL). A series of five binuclear complexes of HL with general stoichiometry CuLX [X= Cl (1), Br (2), NO3 (3), N-3,(4) and SCN (5)], another dinuclear complex [Cu2LCl3] (6) with copper(II) chloride, and a tetranuclear complex [Cu4L4(SO4)(2)] (7) with copper(II) sulfate were also synthesized. The crystal structure of (Cu2L2(SO4)](2) center dot 3H(2)O has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Crystal analysis shows that the complex is tetranuclear with five coordinated copper centers
