Rate My Professor Ajit Kharwar

Dr. Ajit Kumar Kharwar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. His professional contact details include the email akkharwar.chem@bhu.ac.in and phone number 9621197492. Dr. Kharwar's research interests encompass Inorganic Chemistry, Molecular Magnetism, and Coordination Polymers. He maintains a Google Scholar profile with 140 citations, focusing on magnetic materials. His scholarly contributions explore the properties of cobalt-based complexes and metal-organic frameworks, including structural variations, gas sorption capabilities, solvatochromism, and magnetic anisotropies. Dr. Kharwar has served as a session chair at the ACMM II conference organized by IISER Bhopal. He leads research projects at Banaras Hindu University, such as investigations into universal methods in chemistry, and has advertised positions for Junior Research Fellows under his supervision since at least 2022.

Key publications by Dr. Ajit Kumar Kharwar include 'Regulating the structural dimensionality, gas sorption and magnetic properties of Co-MOFs by varying the ligand framework' (CrystEngComm, 2025, co-authored with Sujeet Kumar Pal), 'Two New Polymorphs of a Co(II) Tetra-Azide Complex with Different Magnetic Anisotropies: Structure Distortions, Slow Magnetic Relaxations and Theoretical Studies' (co-authored with Sanjit Konar and Arpan Mondal), 'Modulation of Magnetic Anisotropy and Exchange Interaction in Phenoxide-Bridged Dinuclear CoII Complexes' (2021), 'Phosphine Oxide Ligand Based Tetrahedral Co Complexes with Field-induced Slow Magnetic Relaxation Behavior Modified by Terminal Ligands' (Inorganic Chemistry, co-authored with Arpan Mondal and Sanjit Konar), 'Co(II)-based Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Application in Gas Sorption and Solvatochromism', 'Gas sorption and binding in a nonporous single crystal' (co-authored with Girijesh Kumar), and 'Modulation of the magnetic anisotropy of octahedral cobaltII single-ion magnets by a fine-tuning of axial coordination microenvironment' (co-authored with Arpan Mondal). These works highlight his expertise in designing and characterizing multifunctional coordination compounds with potential applications in magnetism and materials science. Dr. Kharwar's ongoing research advances the understanding of ligand effects on the dimensionality and functionality of coordination polymers.
