A20. J. C. Bailar, H. J. meI6us, R. S. Nyholm, and A. F. Trotman-Dickenson, Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry. Pergamon, Oxford, 1973, 5 vols. Volume 1 has a short chapter by M. L. H. Green, An introduction to the organic chemistry of the metallic elements. Organometallic compounds are discussed in several other chapters in Vols. 1 and 2, which deal with Main Group elements. 

The most important electron poor clusters are those containing M3 and groupings. These clusters are formed by the transition elements of groups 4-7 (Table 3.13). Less numerous in these groups are organometallic compounds, although recently their number has increased considerably. Trinuclear clusters may be divided... 

The fundamental Ziegler-Natta recipe consists of two components the halide or some other compound of a transition metal from among the group IVB to VIIIB elements and an organometallic compound of a representative metal from groups lA to IIIA. Some of the transition metal compounds that have been...

Organometallic compounds of group-IIIB elements in the M(I1) state are unstable even when they incorporate electron-releasing groups, and few have been prepared.
