Dr Chakravorty has been an active research worker in modern structural coordination chemistry. He has effectively employed a variety of modern physical methods like NMR spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy and magnetic measurements to solve several difficult problems. His work on paramagnetic contact shifts is well recognised. Under the broad heading of stereochemical phenomena, Dr. Chakravorty has investigated anomalous isomorphism, halo-coordination, penta-coordination and polytopal equilibria. Dr. Chakravorty has done notable work on magnetic exchange in coordination compounds.
