Course Objectives

To give the student a broad understanding of the major classes of organometallic compounds with nomenclature, structure, properties,
syntheses and reactions.


Course Content

A detailed study of structures, properties, characterization, synthesis and reactions of organometallic compounds as well as their applications to organic synthesis and homogeneous catalysis. Discussion of oxidative addition, reductive elimination, insertion, elimination, ligand substitution reactions, nucleophilic and electrophilic addition and abstraction. The main objective of the course is to show how organometallic chemistry has responded to the challenge of synthesizing novel organic chemicals for research and industry.


Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to extend their knowledge and discuss the topics related to organometallic chemistry.
