Organometallic Organometallic C Compounds ompounds Organometallic compounds which contain between a metallic element and a carbon atom belonging to an organic molecule. compounds are chemical at least one bond Even metalloid elements such as silicon, tin, and boron are known to form organometallic compounds which are used in some industrial chemical & medicinal reactions.
Properties of Properties of Organometallic Organometallic C Compounds ompounds The bond between the metal and the carbon atom is often highly covalent in nature. Most of the organometallic compounds exist in solid states, especially the compounds in which the hydrocarbon groups are aromatic or have a ring structure. The compounds consisting of highly electropositive metals such as sodium or lithium are very volatile and can undergo spontaneous combustion. In many cases, organometallic compounds are found to be toxic to humans (especially the compounds that are volatilein nature). These compounds can act as compounds formed by highly electropositivemetals. reducing agents, especially the The other based on the properties of the metals that constitutethem. properties of organometallic compounds differ amongst each
Applications of Applications of Organometallic Organometallic C Compounds ompounds In some of the commercial chemical reactions, organometallic compounds are used as homogeneous catalysts. These compounds are used as stoichiometric reagents in both industrial and research- oriented chemical reactions. These compounds are also used in the manufacture of some of the semiconductors, which require the use of compounds such as trimethylgallium, trimethylaluminum, trimethylindium,and trimethyl antimony. They are also used in the production of light emitting diodes (or LEDs). These compounds are employed in bulk hydrogenation processes such as the production of margarine. These compounds are used as catalysts and reagents during the synthesis of some organic compounds. The complexes formed from organometallic compounds are useful in the facilitation of the synthesis of many organic compounds.
