Syntheses of aryl organometallics other than polyhalogenoaryls by thermal decarboxylation are comparatively rare. There are several reasons for this. For transition elements, the thermal stability of simple aryls is often low, especially by comparison with polyhalogenoaryl derivatives, thereby excluding syntheses at elevated temperatures. Electron-withdrawing substituents frequently aid thermal decarboxylation (Section III,A-D), and their absence inhibits major mechanistic paths to both transition metal and main group element derivatives, e.g., SEi (carbanionic) and oxidative addition (Section II). In thermal decomposition of... 

CHAPTER 12 Organometallic Compounds of the Main Group Elements... 

In this chapter, we have briefly surveyed the chemistry of organometallic compounds of some of the main group elements. Additional aspects of organometallic chemistry will be illustrated in Chapters 14 and 15, especially for the nonmetallic elements in these groups. Organometallic chemistry is a vast and important area, the relevance of which can be appreciated only by consulting additional references.

The catalyst component consists of halides of IV-VIII group elements having transition valence and the cocatalysts are organometallic compounds like alkyls, aryls and hydrides of group I-IV metals. Although there are hundreds of such catalyst cocatalyst systems listed in table below. Systems based on the organoaluminium compounds such as triethyl aluminium (AlEt3) or diethyl aluminium chloride...
