Dr George has made significant contribution in several areas of organic chemistry, notably the mechanism of organic reactions in general and their use as effective synthetic tools. He has also done important work in organo-metallic chemistry. He has achieved the synthesis of interesting hetero-systems. His work on the photochemistry of various hetero-aromatic systems, such as sydnones, xanthates and photochemical cyclo-additions has attracted considerable attention and is marked by original approach.
