In the modern era of competition everyone is
restless working for success and growth but
attainment of one's goal is not the consequent of
efforts of a single person.
The pages those follow contain suggestions,
blessing co-operation and constructive criticism of
many people. All those whose efforts have gone in to
materializing my work into this project can not be
thank in this limited space. However the following
deserve special attention.
I am thankful to Prof. O.P.Shrivastava Head of
the Chemistry Department for the facilities and
guidance at early stag.
I acknowledge my indebtedness to all the
teaching and non-teaching staff members of the
department, who have directly or indirectly extended
their co-operations in completion of this project.
