Organometallic Chemistry

By Prof. D. Maiti | IIT Bombay

Learners enrolled: 1780

The basic principles of organometallic chemistry will be discussed in this course. The modern chemistry is merged into one from classical organic chemistry and traditional inorganic chemistry. We will shed light on activation of small molecule by metal-ligand complex. We will discuss the stepwise mechanism of insertion of metal into organic molecules and elimination by different pathway. Only catalytic amount of metal can produce the large number of molecules those include drug, natural products, pharmaceuticals, our daily needs, etc. in gigantic quantity.

Instructor bio

Prof. D. Maiti

IIT Bombay

I am Dr. Debabrata Maiti, Associate Professor at IIT Bombay. I have completed PhD from Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Kenneth D. Karlin in bioinorganic chemistry. Then I moved to MIT where I did my Post-doctoral research with Prof. Steven Buchwald. I have started independent carrier at IIT Bombay in 2011 and since then involved actively in teaching bio-inorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. Our group is also active in research areas of bio-inorganic chemistry and C-H activation.
