Department of M.Sc (Organic Chemistry)

The Department of M.Sc (Organic Chemistry) aims at developing young talent for the chemical industry and equipping them with the skills and subject mastery required for research. The vision of the department is to establish an active research unit in the next few years.

Courses Offered
Master of Science (Organic Chemistry)

Objectives:
This course aims to impart to the student, knowledge of:

• Advanced principles of bonding in inorganic compounds.
• The chemistry of coordination compound with Pi acceptor ligands
• The structure of important silicon containing compounds and the correlation between their structure and applications.
• The chemistry of non-metal contains compounds such as boranes, borazines, sulphur-nitrogen compounds and phosphorus-nitrogen compounds.
• The structure and applications of isopoly and heteropoly anions of vanadium, molybdenum and tungsten and metal carbonyl clusters.
• The various principles and applications of solvent system, hard-soft acid base (HSAB), theories of acids and bases and concept of superacids.

• Appreciate the different theories of chemical bonding and be able to apply these theories to solve structures
• Be able to apply IR spectroscopy to discuss structures of pi acceptor containing complexes
• Choose an appropriate solvent for carrying out any chemical reaction based on the principles of acids and bases.
• Correctly write the structures of heteropoly, isopoly anions and metal carbonyl clusters and relate the structure to chemical reactivity. ·Understand the three dimensional structure of silicates and catalytically important molecules such as aluminosilicates (zeolites) and apply their knowledge towards selectivity based on structure.
