Course Objectives

  • The main focus of this course is on the synthesis, structure, bonding, properties and reactivity of organometallic compounds such as: metal carbonyls, hydrocarbon, and carbocyclic based molecules.

  •  This course also covers, 18-electron rule (Saturation and Unsaturation), Organometallic reaction (substitution, oxidative-addition, reductive elimination, insertion and de-insertion, and  isomerization).
