Course Objective

Research in this field has received a major stimulus from the discovery of several important industrial processes involving organometallic reagents and catalysts. Synthesis involving inorganic and organometallic compounds or intermediates is a large, diverse and important field. It is useful in interpreting spectral and magnetic properties of coordination complexes and in predicting and interpreting the structural problems in coordination chemistry. Organometallic chemistry is very important and rapidly expanding field. Most students need some knowledge of organometallic chemistry.
