Organometallic




Important classes of organometallic compounds are Metal Carbonyl s, Carbene Complexes and Metallocene s with Ferrocene as a prime example. The term "metal" is defined deliberately broadly in this context and may include elements, such as Silicon , Arsenic or Boron , which are not metallic but are considered to be Metalloid s such as the organoborane Et3B Triethylborane . There is also the group of Poor Metal elements such as Aluminium that form Ziegler-Natta Catalyst s.

Organometallic compounds often find practical use as Catalyst s, in for example the processing of Petroleum products and the production of organic Polymer s.

The 18 Electron Rule and the Isolobal Principle are concepts that help to understand chemical bonding and reactivity in organometallic compounds.
