Historical development and current trends in organometallic chemistry. Classification of organometallic compounds. Energy, polarity and reactivity of the metal-carbon bond. Main groups of organometallic compounds. Methods of preparation. Alkaliorgano-metallics. Organometallics of Group 2 and 12. Organometallics of the boron Group. Organometallics of the carbon Group. Organoelement compounds of As, Sb, Bi, Se and Te. Organometallics of Cu, Ag, Au. Organometallic compounds of the transition elements and lanthanoids. The 18-Valence-Electron-Rule.Substituents in transition metal organometallics (s-donor Ligands, s-donor/p-acceptor ligands, p-donor/p-acceptor ligands).Metal-metal bonds. Organometallics in the catalysis.
Covers material related to compounds containing one or more covalent metal-carbon bonds. The material progresses from the traditional organometallics, such as Grignards and cuprates, through the transition metal and main group complexes. Emphasis is placed on the properties of organometallic compounds and mechanisms of their formation and subsequent reactions.
