Preface

It gives us immense pleasure in introducing a book named *Recent Progress in Organometallic Chemistry* based on the state of the art of organometallic and state-of-the-art catalysis with var‐ ious inorganic catalyst as well as their numerous potential and significant applications. These deal with aspects of the synthesis, characterization, and applications. The discussion of these aspects develops through the fundamentals and applied experimental routes in catalysis ap‐ proaches via the synthetic matrixes to include the interfacing of the organic-inorganic chemis‐ try world. Usually, catalysis has certainly attained accomplishment of its classical essence and has taken new directions of synthesis, growth, development, continuous changes, and various catalytical applications in research and development sectors. The new route and emerging frontiers are branching out from time to time around this innovative organometallic, biocata‐ lytic, electro-catalysis technology based on various organic-inorganic matrixes. This work aims to bridge the gap between graduate and researchers in applied catalysis (electro-, photo-, or nanocatalyst) branches as well as medical and metallocenes, in order to initiate researchers into catalysis study in as straightforward way as possible and as to introduce the scientist to the opportunities offered by the applied industrial and technological fields. We worked con‐ sistently to complete this work on *Recent Progress in Organometallic Chemistry* under the InTech Open Access Publisher. This book offers a comprehensive but easy-to-follow theoretical con‐ text with practical investigation in catalysis science. It frameworks the significant research methods and contemplates technological implementations in research or industrial scales. A straightforward acquaintance of the principles of chemical, physical, biological, and environ‐ mental catalysis designed with inorganic chemistry is anticipated. It will also entreat to a broad audience of undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students at colleges and uni‐ versities of technology as well as scientists in industry who prerequisite a comprehensive con‐ tingent study in the catalysis science and technology. We hope that the book on *Recent Progress in Organometallic Chemistry* would further enhance the applied metallocenes or nanocatalyst or catalysts in chemical, biological, and medical sciences, especially in bringing new entrants into the applied catalytic science and technology fields, and help scientists to forward and develop their own field of specialization.
