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

  1. Organolithium, organosodium and organopotassium
  2. Organo-magnesium: Grignard reagents RMgX
  3. Transition-metal organometallics
    1. organo-molybdenum and tungsten: metathesis catalysts
    2. organo-titanium: Tebbe's reagent
    3. organo-iron: Collman's reagent

(This is obviously in very early draft form...)
