Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal, including alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals, and sometimes broadened to include metalloids like boron, silicon, and selenium, as well.
Organozirconium chemistry is the science of exploring the properties, structure, and reactivity of organozirconium compounds, which are organometallic compounds containing chemical bonds between carbon and zirconium. [2] Organozirconium compounds have been widely studied, in part because they are useful catalysts in Ziegler-Natta polymerization.
Main group organometallic chemistry concerns the preparation and properties of main-group elements directly bonded to carbon. The inventory is large. The inventory is large. The compounds exhibit a wide range of properties, including ones that are water-stable and others that are pyrophoric . [ 1 ]
The most famous example is Vaska's complex (IrCl(CO)(PPh 3) 2), [PtCl 4] 2−, and Zeise's salt [PtCl 3 (η 2-C 2 H 4)] −. In such complexes, the d z 2 orbital is doubly occupied and nonbonding. Many catalytic cycles operate via complexes that alternate between 18-electron and square-planar 16-electron configurations.
Group 2 organometallic chemistry refers to the organic derivativess of any group 2 element. It is a subtheme to main group organometallic chemistry . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] By far the most common group 2 organometallic compounds are the magnesium-containing Grignard reagents which are widely used in organic chemistry .
Organonickel chemistry is a branch of organometallic chemistry that deals with organic compounds featuring nickel-carbon bonds. [1] [2] They are used as a catalyst, as a building block in organic chemistry and in chemical vapor deposition. Organonickel compounds are also short-lived intermediates in organic reactions.
Metalation was first observed in the laboratory by Edward Frankland during a synthesis of diethylzinc in 1849. [1] While this development eventually led to the development of organometallic compounds of other metals, [2] these compounds saw little use in the laboratory because of their expense and (in the case of organozinc compounds) their highly pyrophoric nature.
Tetramethylsilane (abbreviated as TMS) is the organosilicon compound with the formula Si(CH 3) 4. It is the simplest tetraorganosilane. Like all silanes, the TMS framework is tetrahedral. TMS is a building block in organometallic chemistry but also finds use in diverse niche applications.
