Transition Metal Organometallics in Catalysis and Biology
Offered By: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay via Swayam
Course Description
Overview
The course would cover application aspects of organometallic compounds in industrial processes with particular emphasis on various types of polymerization reactions that have had tremendous impact on society at large. The course would also highlight the importance of organometallic chemistry in biology in the form of bioorganometallic chemistry. In short, the course would provide a wholistic overview of the applications of organometallic chemistry in the dual worlds of chemical synthesis and biology.INTENDED AUDIENCE : All of Chemistry and possibly some of Chemical Engineering studentsPREREQUISITES : Basic undergraduate inorganic and organic chemistry courses are pre-requisite to take this courseINDUSTRY SUPPORT : BASF, Dow Chemicals, GE, Reliance, DuPont, BAYER and other petrochemical & polymer companies.
