Organometallic chemistry
Organometallic chemistry
is the study of
chemical compounds
containing at least one
bond
between a
carbon
atom of an organic compound and a
metal
. Some non-carbon compounds such as
metal phosphine complexes
have "honorary" status as organometallic compounds because their chemical bonding is similar to that found in
metal carbonyls
. Organometallic chemistry combines aspects of
inorganic chemistry
and
organic chemistry
. Organometallic compounds are widely used in
homogeneous catalysis
.
