Advanced Transition Metal Organometallic Chemistry

By Prof. P. Ghosh | IIT Bombay

Learners enrolled: 754

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.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : All of Chemistry and possibly some of Chemical Engineering students

Dr. Prasenjit Ghosh is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), India. He received his PhD in bioinorganic chemistry under the supervision of Professor Gerard Parkin from Columbia University, New York, in 1998. Following two post- doctoral stints in the laboratories of Dr. R. Morris Bullock (Brookhaven National Laboratory, 19982001) and Professor Guillermo C. Bazan (University of California, Santa Barbara, 20012003), he joined the Department of Chemistry at IIT Bombay as an Assistant Professor in 2003 and was finally promoted to Professor in June, 2012. He received the CRSI Bronze Medal (2014) of the Chemical Research Society of India and The Distinguished Lectureship Award (2011) of the Chemical Society of Japan among many others in the recent years. He is an Editorial Advisory Board member of the ACS journal Organometallics from 2017 for a three-year period and of Polyhedron since 2011.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Bombay.It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
