what is organometallic chemistry?

Answer 1

Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds containing bonds between carbon and a metal.Since many compounds without such bonds are chemically similar, an alternative may be compounds containing metal-element bonds of a largely covalent character. Organometallic chemistry combines aspects of inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.

Answer 2

This is the study of compounds that include both organic parts and a metal. Most such compounds are complexes, where the metal ion can provide a site for coordinate covalent bonds with organics. A very common type is formed with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). EDTA can provide up to six different coordinate covalent bonds on one molecule (two at each nitrogen and an additional four at the acetate ions, which occur due to shifts in pH from acid to highly basic). Such a molecule forms a "chelate" with a metal ion, taking it out of action. Thus it is used in medicines to treat heavy metal poisoning. Other well-known organometallics include dissolved platinum and gold complexes that can be spread on a surface with a brush and then fired to a mirror surface at about 800 deg C. Hemoglobin is an organometallic substance as is chlorophyl; they are quite similar except for the central metal ion. In fact, while group II metals generally are ionic, organometallic complexes with them do exist.

Answer 3

Organometalic chemistry is like organic chemistry for non-organic, and organic metals. If you did fine in organic chemistry 1 and 2 u will do fine in organometalic. Its actually a little easier because you know the basics

Answer 4

As the name might suggest, it is the branch of chemistry dealing with metallic complexes with organic compounds. Tetraethyl Tin is an example of an organometallic complex.

Answer 5

organometallic compounds is the study of metal to carbon bond.
