Organometallic compounds are compounds that contain at least one metal-carbon bond. These compounds are widely studied in the field of chemistry due to their unique reactivity and potential applications in catalysis, materials science, and pharmaceuticals. Organometallic compounds can be formed from a variety of metals, including transition metals, main group metals, and lanthanides. They can have diverse structures and properties, and their reactivity can be finely tuned by modifying the ligands attached to the metal center. Research in organometallic chemistry aims to understand the fundamental reactivity of these compounds, develop new synthetic methods for their preparation, and explore their potential applications in various fields.
