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
