From the Desk of the Vice Chancellor

Greetings!

As the Vice Chancellor of this premier university, I am extremely pleased to share this space to converse with all of you. The University of Madras is a post- sesquicentennial institution which has forged a glorious path for itself and has been the site for significant scientific discoveries as well as the beacon for national and regional societal transformation. It has successfully managed to hold aloft its tradition even while keeping up with the emerging trends. One reason for this is the way in which the university has kept alive its interactions with all the stakeholders.

The COVID 19 pandemic has introduced a ‘new normal’ and its impact is felt in the workings of the university as well. The students have been attending the lectures online. While online learning has the advantage of being anytime and anywhere, it has taken away the peer group interaction and peer learning which are integral aspects of the university experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the campus very soon. Meanwhile, our faculty and administration will continue to bring the best to the virtual classrooms. As students, you need to view the restrictions posed by the pandemic as a temporary deterrent. Your focus should be to gain the competencies to conduct application oriented research in order to evolve as useful citizens of our society.

Our university boasts of faculty with a high degree of knowledge and commitment to offer the best in teaching and research. Given the context of the pandemic, we need to redefine our teaching-learning processes to offer the best pedagogic experience to our students. Similarly, the post-pandemic era demands that we hone the employment potential and entrepreneurial capacity of our learners. This necessitates that we focus on sponsored research in cutting edge areas.

Our administrative staff have been the backbone of the university. While we move towards a transparent and complete e-governance model, we need more support from you. When the teaching-learning process at our university – from admission to certification -- is moving into the digital era, your skills and competencies need to keep pace.

At our university, we are gearing up for the final round of NAAC re-accreditation. This has offered us an opportunity to assess our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges. Further, it has made us more determined to reiterate our quality benchmarks in teaching, research and extension activities. We are aware of this responsibility and fully prepared for it because, our university has always encouraged individual thinking within the established frameworks. This is echoed in the words of Tim Burners Lee, who initiated the World Wide Web: “We are forming cells within a global brain and we are excited that we might start to think collectively. What becomes of us still hangs crucially on how we think individually.” Let us unite to make the educational experience at the University of Madras a synergy of the best minds and best thoughts.

School of Chemical Sciences

Home > Schools > School of Chemical Sciences

The School of Chemical Science consists of Department of Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Energy and Polymer Science.

School of Chemical Science,University of Madras was established in 1973 when part-time M.Phil Course common to Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry was introduced. The Master of Science programme was introduced in 1976 wherein the first year students undergo a common chemistry programme and the students specialize in one of the areas of Chemistry in the second year: Physical Chemistry,Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. Since 1987,the department of Analytical Chemistry also joined the School of Chemical Sciences and the teaching programme is conducted by admitting the students in all the four branches based on the performance of the students in the entrance examination.

The School of Chemical Science consists of four departments,Viz., Analytical Chemistry,Inorganic Chemistry,Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry and these departments were established in 1960,1975,1952 and 1952 respectively. From the academic year 1975-76 the departments are conducting courses (M.Sc. & M.Phil) collectively. The Chairperson,School of Chemical Sciences is coordinating the academic activities. The students of School of chemical Sciences have been performing very well in the competitive examinations and are working in prestigious institutions in India and abroad.

The Department of Analytical chemistry specializes in spectrometry,separation techniques, electroanalytical methods,corrosion control and implants studies. The Department has the facilities of a workshop, air-conditioned room of equipments, telecommunication network,library and computation laboratory. The sophisticated instruments of the Department includes UV-Visible spectrophotometer,Polarographs,Cyclic Voltammeter,Potentiostat/Galvanostat,Gas chromatograph,lon analyzer,corrosion monitoring system,microscope(Hot stage),refractometer,data acquisition system and computers. The Department offers consultancy in analytical problems relating to chemical industries,environment,material science,biomaterials,chelating resins,electroanalytical studies,chemically modified electrodes,etc.

The Department of Inorganic Chemistry, concentrates on research work in Photochemistry, Coordination Chemistry,Bioinorganic Chemistry,Catalysis and Laser Chemistry. The facilities in the Department include Spectrophotometers, Fluorimeters,photochemical,electrochemical systems,flash photolysis spectrometer,Nd-YAG pumped laser flash photolysis spectrometer,excimer laser,time-correlated Single Photon Counting spectrometer,IR,UV-Visible,esr,gas chromatograph,cyclic voltammeter and pulse polarograph.

The Department of Organic Chemistry specializes in the fields of synthesis of carbocyclics and their rearrangements,heterocyclic compounds of pharmacological interest,Macrocyclic compounds and molecules with spatial conjugation and laser dyes,asymmetric synthesis,Bio-organic chemistry and photochemistry. The facilities of the department include Jeol 90 MHz NMR and mass spectrometer,Shimadzu UV-vis spectrophotometer,Shimadzu FT IR, and Polarimeter. The staff of this department offer consultancy services in the synthesis of any type of industrially important organic compounds,application of any type of organics and solving structure through spectra.

The department of Physical Chemistry researches in Homo-and hetero-multisite catalysts,triphase catalysis,synthesis,characterization and kinetics of polymerization,model enzyme reactions,conducting,polymers,defluridisation studies,electrocatalysis by metal complexes, electron transfer reactions,electrochemical studies on copper-halide interactions,ion-selective electrodes,SANS study of microemulsions, polymerization and oxidation reactions in microemulsion,sysnthesis,characterisation and catalytic activity of anionic clays,sorption studies of surfactants on polymeric surfaces electroanalytical oxygen evolution at oxide electrodes as in photo assisted splitting of water,Development of polymer-modified catalytic electrodes for detection of neurotransmitter enzymeless biosensors etc. The facilities of the Department include Gas Chromatography Varian 3700 with Data system (VISTA401),UV-visible SPECORD spectrophotometer,PAR-Cyclic Voltammetric,Spectrofluroimeter-AMINCO,FIBRE-SPINNING equipment etc. The Department offers consultancy in areas like:synthesis and characterisation of polymers,environmental studies involving fluorosis,polymer-Drug interactions,preparation and application of catalysts,development and applications of ion selective electrodes,polymer supported reagents,enzyme models,electro catalysis,anionic clays,micro emulsions and enzymeless biosensors.
