Abstract:
A good knowledge in coordination and
organometallic chemistry is very useful to a student,
who wish to understand chemical transformations
taking place around in nature and industry. It also helps
to design synthetic routes to target metal complexes. We
know that nature very cleverly uses metal complexes to
carry out reactions catalytically with a precise selectivity.
In enzymes, metal centres such as Zn, Cu, Mo, Fe etc. are
dressed in organic ligands to perform specific reactions.
