Syllabus


    Based on your knowledge acquired through Inorganic chemistryI (CH2101), Chemistry of Transition Elements (CH3201) and Organometallic Chemistry & Catalysis (CH4102) you will be provided with a deeper understanding of the Fundamentals of Molecular Orbital theory and Symmetry; Role of VBT, CFT, LFT and MOT in explaining the properties of transition metal complexesstructure and bonding, thermodynamic aspects, spectra and magnetism; molecular orbital aspects of M-M bonding; Kinetic aspects of transition metal complexes from the viewpoint of reaction rate

    Designing the synthesis based on retrosynthetic analysis
    A disconnection approach to the synthesis of organic compound. Different consideration in designing target molecule, concept of synthons, functional group interconversion, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, specificity, stereoselectivity, general strategy choosing a disconnection, types of bond disconnection, linear v/s convergent synthesis.
    Illustration of concepts through the synthesis of important targets.
