Organometallic compounds are organic substances which contain bonds between carbon to metallic elements. Common metals found in organometallic compounds are Na, K, Li, Mg, and B.
Formation of organometalic reagents: R-X + 2M -> R-M +MX
- Organolithium, organosodium and organopotassium
- Organo-magnesium: Grignard reagents RMgX
- Transition-metal organometallics
- organo-molybdenum and tungsten: metathesis catalysts
- organo-titanium: Tebbe's reagent
- organo-iron: Collman's reagent
