M.Sc Organic Chemistry

Programme 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.

Programme Learning Outcomes: On completion of the course, students should be able to:
• 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.

A Bachelor’s Degree in Science with Chemistry as a paper from a recognised Indian university with a minimum of 50% aggregate. Students must have a minimum of 50% average in Chemistry for three years and studied Mathematics at 12th / Pre-University level.
