Berylliums redistribution

Of the organometallic compounds of Group II elements, undoubtedly the chemistry of the magnesium compounds is best known. By contrast, the remaining elements in this group have received less attention and it is only recently that more information on organo derivatives of beryllium and, to lesser extent, of calcium, strontium, and barium has become available. Therefore, most of the observations regarding redistribution equilibria have been of more or less qualitative nature.
