In Sects. 3-6, various types of TM complexes will be discussed. We start in Sect. 3 with elementary organometallic complexes - the metallocarbonyls and some cyclopentadienyl complexes. In Sect. 4 classical Werner complexes are dealt with. A separate section (Sect. 5) is devoted to the important class of technologically important and widely studied polypyridyl complexes. Section 6 deals with metallotetrapyrroles such as porphyrins and phthalocya-nines. Section 7 contains concluding remarks. 

TMS-Cl or TMS-I, formed in situ, worics as the promoter in addition reactions of zinc homoenolates ((3-metallocarbonyl compounds), generated from 1-alkoxy-l-siloxycyclopropanes and ZnXz (equation 7). No reaction t es place with the purified zinc homoenolates. In contrast, titanium homoenolates are reactive enough to add to aldehydes in the absence of the Lewis acid promoter.Related reactions of zinc esters with aldehydes in the presence of (lVO)3TiCl have been reported (equation 8). ... 

IR detection is less sensitive than UV-visible, but instrumentation has fast advanced [24]. The first application has been for the photochemistry of intensively absorbing intermediates, in the typical case coordinatively unsaturated species such as those formed of in the photochemistry of metallocarbonyls. This has allowed us to clarify the path toward selective substitution (Fig. 6.15 and Scheme 6.9) [28],... 

All the metals given in Table I are known to yield such species it is furthermore generally accepted that these metallocarbonyl complexes are more stable when the metal center ... 

Strong hydrogen bonding reduces the % values by up to 2.6 MHz. The % values of the terminal CO groups in metallocarbonyls were found to be between 1-3 MHz although values below 0.1 MHz have also been observed. It was suggested that increased dTC-pjc back bonding from the metal will increase electron density perpendicular to the C-O axis and so reduce X values.
