Advanced Transition Metal Organometallic Chemistry
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and NPTEL via Swayam
Overview
The course would cover various application aspects of organometallic compounds in industrial processes. The course would also highlight the concepts behind these blockbuster industrial processes that have directly impacted our society at large over the last century. Not to mention of the fact that nine Nobel prizes have been attributed to the field for original discoveries over the last century, and which too, along with their far reaching implications, would be covered in this course.
