“Heteroatoms in natural compounds: intermolecular interaction, receptor recognition, pharmacophores” (2016-2020) 
VA-FA-F6-010 Fundamental Project of Uzbekistan Science and Technology Agency
Principal investigator: Institute of Ion-Plasma and Laser Technologies)

• For the first time, the structural features of the concentration dependences of the excess refractive index of aqueous solutions of aprotic solvents have been established using the molecular dynamics method;
• For the first time, using refractometry in combination with the molecular dynamics method, concentration ranges were established and the structural features of the concentration dependences of the excess refractive index of aqueous solutions of acetic acid were identified;
• For the first time, it was established by refractometry that the deviation from the parabolic form of the excess refractive index of aqueous solutions of acetic acid at a concentration of 0.8 mole fractions of acetic acid is associated with the formation of weak induced H-C...C-H bonds;

“Synthesize and characterization of the emerging multi-functional properties of Sulvanite compounds from Theory and Experiment” (2021-2023) 
UZB-Ind-2021-83 International Project Indian-Uzbekistan Joint project, Ministry of Innovative Development of Uzbekistan and Department of Science and Technology of India 
Principal investigator: UJICY

It is shown that the resulting Cu3VS4 samples are a new generation of thin-film solar cells due to the availability of constituent materials and an almost ideal energy gap (1.3–1.5 eV). Various samples were obtained using a new technique using the hydrothermal method, depending on the ratio and concentrations of the starting components.

• It has been established that the experimental results obtained using the synthesized sulvanite compounds proposed for testing and implementation have advantages over other known reactors in terms of purification and speed. To initiate photocatalysis, it is possible to use radiation sources of both UV-LED and visible wavelength ranges. Sampling during the purification process makes it possible to record the kinetics of water purification by various photocatalytic materials and compare their effectiveness.
• Based on the results obtained, implementation was carried out at the local and international level.
• A new hydrothermal method for the synthesis of cubic Cu3VS4 colloidal nanocrystallites with controlled sizes (9 nm, 12 nm and 18 nm) has been developed. As the size of the colloidal nanocrystals decreases, the UV-vis spectra show three distinct absorption peaks that shift to the blue side of the spectrum. 

The presented new class of synthesized nanoparticles and their optical properties, on the one hand, demonstrates the practical application of multicomponent semiconductor materials in the chemistry, and on the other hand, contributes to the deepening of fundamental knowledge about the structure and functioning of particles with a nanoscale structure.
