Chidambara Vinayagam M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., for his supreme patience, persistent guidance, enlightening inspiration and encouragement towards not only my study but also my daily life throughout my M.phil., study in Presidency College. I have gained a lot than I could ever expect. Its his kind instruction that let me to learn with continuous progress from the original novice of this study field.

I would like to thank Dr. M. Mohammed Ibrahim, M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., HOD of Department of Chemisty in Presidency College for his precise examinations and arrangement of chemical at required time..

I also would like to thank Dr. B. Santhi, M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D., & Dr. S. Arul Antony, M.Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D. Though they are not directly involved in my
