Among the various organometallic catalysts, metallocene and metal-carbene based catalysts have rapidly been developed for industrial use in olefin polymerization in the last two decades. The unique design, structural parameters and symmetry of metallocene catalysts afford exceptional activity in α-olefin polymerization in presence of activator to produce high molecular weight polyolefin where stereoregularity/microstructure can be finely controlled to meet the targeted applications. In parallel, the transition metal carbene/alkylidene complexes with M=C bond have attracted chemists and industries as living alkene metathesis polymerization catalysts. In this course, the main focus will be to address the understanding the concept, designing principle of catalysts, reactions mechanism and developing pathways of these type of popular and attractive catalysts used in polymer industries. The knowledge gained in this course will further help to design and develop appropriate catalyst systems to achieve tailored polymers, oligomers and other value added compounds.

About Instructor
Prof. Sanjib K. Patra completed his Ph.D. in organometallic chemistry in 2007 from Dept. of Chemistry, IIT Kanpur. After that, he did his postdoctoral research as Marie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Prof. Ian Manners’ group at University of Bristol (UK). Subsequently (Dec, 2011), he joined as assistant professor at Dept. of Chemistry, IIT Kharagpur. Currently, he is associate professor at IIT Kharagpur. The area of his research is interdisciplinary in nature comprising the fields of synthetic inorganic, organometallic, polymer and materials chemistry. The main interest of research is on synthesis and characterization of multifunctional materials. He teaches Inorganic, Organometallic, Polymer Chemistry, and Catalysis to UG/PG/PhD students at IIT Kharagpur.
