Synopsis Organometallic Chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and metal. The term “Metal” is defined deliberately broadly in this context and may include elements, such as silicon boron, which are not metallic but are considered to be metalloids. Almost all branches of chemistry and material science now interface with organometallic chemistry. The present book provides an introduction to the principles and general properties of organometallic compounds. It also supplies practical information about reaction mechanisms, along with the descriptions of contemporary applications to organic synthesis, organized by mechanism and kinetic. It will serve as a valuable reference tool for students and professional of organic and post organic chemistry, who need to become better acquainted with the subject.
