Organometallic chemistry

Organometallic chemistry is the discipline of chemistry which deals with the compounds in which an organic group is attached through carbon to an atom which is less electronegative than carbon. Organometallic chemistry concerned with the organic derivatives of the alkali and alkaline earth metals, the non-transition metals, the transition metals and some on metals. By the acknowledgment of biological activity of organometallic compounds, organometallic chemistry was brought up into a new field known as bio-organometallic chemistry by understanding the relationship between catalysis and formation of organometallic compounds. Organometallic compounds found their applications as catalysts or reagents in the synthesis of organic compounds such as pharmaceutical products.
