Intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, have great influence on structure and reactivity. The major research theme of out group is to understand these interactions at a fundamental level. We primarily use a host of laser spectroscopic techniques along with the theoretical calculations to analyze molecular complexes and clusters in the gas phase. Apart from fundamental understanding we are also interested in probing processes that manifest due to weak intermolecular interactions.
