1. Introduction to general methods of synthesis of organometallic compounds with emphasis on thermodynamic and kinetic properties of M-C bond in these compounds. This part will cover also the relation between structure and reactivity of these compounds.
2. The chemistry of main group organometalloides which will cover group 1 to group 15 compounds which contain M-C bond.
3. The chemistry of the transition metal organometallic compounds including synthesis, reactivity and structure.
4. Homogeneous catalysis employing transition metal compounds with special emphasis on some industrially important catalytic processes.
