Course objective :
A course intended to give an overall view of organometallic compounds, their syntheses, structure, bonding, and major uses in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis .
Course Description
CO molecule, unsaturated carbon chains and rings and the formation of metal-carbon bonds, IUPAC nomenclature, the concept of back-bonding, electro neutrality and the 18-e- rule, s-bonded complexes (carbonyls, alkyls, hydrides etc...), p-bonded complexes (ferrocines, alkenes, alkynes, allyles, etc...), stereochemistry and simple MO-bonding, syntheses and reactions of organo-metallic compounds, characterization by i.r., 1H nmr and 13C nmr., metal nitrosyls and dinitrogen complexes, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, applications in organic syntheses .
