The course is designed to provide an overview of the special topics in inorganic chemistry linked to the synthesis, characterization, catalytic applications, magnetism, and biological applications of several organic and inorganic compounds.

CO 1: It provides the knowledge of metathesis reactions linked to the synthesis of organic molecule and catalytic transformation.
CO 2: By the end of this lesson, it enables the students to learn different methodology for catalytic metathesis reaction using Grubb’s catalysts.
CO 3: It enables the students to learn the basic concept of magnetism presence in magnetic materials and biomolecules.
CO 4: It provides the understanding of how the presence of paramagnetic electron allow the metal centers to undergo the antiferromagnetic coupling.
CO 5: It provides knowledge of magnetism and competitive oxygen and carbon monoxide binding in oxygen carrying protein, hemoglobin.
CO 6: By the end of this lesson, it enables the students to learn different reactions involved in organometallic chemistry and their application in synthetic research.
CO 7: It provides knowledge of the chemistry of Macrocycles like Crown ethers, Calixarenes, Cryptand, Catenanes and Rotaxanes and their metal-based complexes and applications.
