Organometallic Chemistry and Fine Chemical Applications

The course aims at giving the basis of organometallic chemistry. It represents an evolution of inorganic and organic chemistry, focusing on transition metal complexes reactivity with organic and inorganic ligands, especially chiral ones. The course offers an overview of their application in homogeneous catalysis.
Furthermore, the course aims to show the applications of transition-metals complexes on organic synthesis, in particular the use of homogeneous catalysis for the preparation of biological active compounds and natural products.

The expected learning outcomes will be focalized on:
- the development of a solid know-how in the field of organometallic chemistry and in its applications in research laboratories in academia or in industrial reality.
- the knowledge of modern synthetic methods used in academia or in industrial reality, exploiting the transition metals catalysis.
