Course Description Fundamentals of organometallic compounds, types of bonding in


organometallics, single, double and triple bonds to carbon (compound
types, acyls, alkylidene complexes and alkylidyne complexes),
delocalized hydrocarbon systems (alkenes, olefins, allyl and butadienes),
-complexes (five and six membered rings).
Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, dimerization, oligomerization,
polymerization, hydroformylation of olefins, catalytic polymerization of
acetylenes. Insertion reactions and uses of organometallic compounds in
organic synthesis.
Course Type: Compulsory Course
Pre-requisites Students must have knowledge about the physical and chemical
properties of d- & f- block elements on the basis of their electronic
configurations and work out structures of coordination compounds on
the basis of VBT, CFT and MOT.
Goals Students will acquire knowledge about chemistry of organometallics
especially with reference to their types and bonding, and reactivity of
organometallic compounds in homogeneous catalysis.
