Element , /-block organometallic compounds

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF THE COMPLEXES AND ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF d-BLOCK ELEMENTS... 

Compounds containing M—C bonds where M is an 5-block element are readily classified as being organometallic. However, when we come to the p-block, the trend from metallic to non-metallic character means that a discussion of strictly organometallic compounds would ignore... 

Organometallic chemistry of the s- and p-block elements was described in Chapter 18, and we now extend the discussion to organometallic compounds containing J-block metals. This topic covers a huge area of chemistry, and we can only provide an introduction to it, emphasizing the fundamental families of complexes and reactions.
