  2. Organometallic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organometallic_chemistry

    A steel bottle containing MgCp 2 (magnesium bis-cyclopentadienyl), which, like several other organometallic compounds, is pyrophoric in air.. Organometallic compounds are distinguished by the prefix "organo-" (e.g., organopalladium compounds), and include all compounds which contain a bond between a metal atom and a carbon atom of an organyl group.

  3. Sandwich compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_compound

    In organometallic chemistry, a sandwich compound is a chemical compound featuring a metal bound by haptic, covalent bonds to two arene (ring) ligands. The arenes have the formula C n H n, substituted derivatives (for example C n (CH 3) n) and heterocyclic derivatives (for example BC n H n+1). Because the metal is usually situated between the ...

  4. 18-electron rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18-electron_rule

    An important class of complexes that violate the 18e rule are the 16-electron complexes with metal d 8 configurations. All high-spin d 8 metal ions are octahedral (or tetrahedral), but the low-spin d 8 metal ions are all square planar. Important examples of square-planar low-spin d 8 metal Ions are Rh(I), Ir(I), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II). At ...

  5. Main group organometallic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_group_organometallic...

    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 ]

  6. Migratory insertion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migratory_insertion

    In organometallic chemistry, a migratory insertion is a type of reaction wherein two ligands on a metal complex combine. It is a subset of reactions that very closely resembles the insertion reactions, and both are differentiated by the mechanism that leads to the resulting stereochemistry of the products. However, often the two are used ...

  7. Metal–halogen exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal–halogen_exchange

    In organometallic chemistry, metal–halogen exchange is a fundamental reaction that converts an organic halide into an organometallic product. The reaction commonly involves the use of electropositive metals (Li, Na, Mg) and organochlorides, bromides, and iodides.

  8. Insertion reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_reaction

    Insertion reactions are observed in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry. In cases where a metal- ligand bond in a coordination complex is involved, these reactions are typically organometallic in nature and involve a bond between a transition metal and a carbon or hydrogen . [ 1 ]

  9. Tolman's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolman's_rule

    Tolman's rule states that, in a certain chemical reaction, the steps involve exclusively intermediates of 18- and 16 electron configuration. The rule is an extension of the 18-electron rule.
