The metal-carbon bond may be transient or temporary, but if one exists during a reaction or in a compound of interest, we’re squarely in the domain of organometallic chemistry. Despite the denotational importance of the M-C bond, bonds between metals and the other common elements of organic chemistry also appear in OM chemistry: metal-nitrogen, metal-oxygen, metal-ha

There’s a reason the “organo” comes first in “organometallic chemistry”—These catalysts usually the aid in the creation of new bonds in organic compounds, building up complex products from simple starting materials.

Before discussing reactions of organometallic complexes we will start with an overview of ligands common to organometallic complexes. In organometallic reactions, ligands can be either spectators, not chemically involved or changed during the reaction, or actors, chemically changed during the reaction.

The small amount of the incoming ligand actually used up in the reaction has a negligible effect on the concentration of the “sea” of starting ligand we began with.

We can express variation in the concentration of the unsaturated intermediate as (processes that make it) minus (processes that destroy it), multiplying by an arbitrary time length to make the units work out.

In general, ligand substitution involves the exchange of one ligand for another, with no change in oxidation state at the metal center. The incoming and outgoing ligands may be neutral or ionic but the charge of the complex changes if the ligand charge changes. Keep charge conservation in mind when writing out ligand substitutions.
