In a similar manner, the existence of (C5H5)Tc(C03) - and of Tc(CsH5)2 was demonstrated for the first time, starting from corresponding organometallic compounds of Mo, which undergoes [) decay to 99mTc. These compounds were also subsequently synthesized -and the chemical properties confirmed.

Udy The physical and chemical properties of compounds of chromium. The last section, pp. 240-246, organometallic chromium compounds, is almost entirely concerned with a discussion of polyphenylchromium compounds, at the time of writing not recognized as bis-7r-arenechromium derivatives. 

In this review we shall not deal with the synthesis of this coordination complex, but we shall deal with the chemical properties of B 12-coenzymes with special emphasis on how these properties relate to Bi2-enzyme mechanisms. Also, we shall show how B -catalyzed methyl-transfer reactions have special significance in the biosynthesis of methylated heavy metals in the aqueous environment, and how the synthesis of these organometallic compounds has special relevance to problems concerned with continuing global environmental health hazards. 

Applications involving ring transfer or loss. The kinetic lability, volatility, and Lewis acidity of heavy alkaline earth metallocenes have been the properties most important to their applications. The gas-phase decomposition of volatile metallocenes is useful in the preparation of thin films of alkaline earth-containing materials and in doping semiconductors. Reviews are available on the use of group 2 organometallic compounds as precursors for chemical-vapour deposition (CVD).2 3... 

There are many organometallic compounds of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth known that constitute series having chemical properties that differ markedly. These compounds generally decrease in stability in the order As > Sb > Bi, which agrees with the increasing difference in size of the atoms and carbon atoms. Arsenic compounds include both aliphatic derivatives and heterocycles such as arsabenzene,... 

The first chemical transformations carried out with Cjq were reductions. After the pronounced electrophilicity of the fullerenes was recognized, electron transfer reactions with electropositive metals, organometallic compounds, strong organic donor molecules as well as electrochemical and photochemical reductions have been used to prepare fulleride salts respectively fulleride anions. Functionalized fulleride anions and salts have been mostly prepared by reactions with carbanions or by removing the proton from hydrofullerenes. Some of these systems, either functionalized or derived from pristine Cjq, exhibit extraordinary solid-state properties such as superconductivity and molecular ferromagnetism. Fullerides are promising candidates for nonlinear optical materials and may be used for enhanced photoluminescence material. 

Heterocycles treated in this section belong to several structure types. The metal atoms in compounds under discussion can exist not only in the tetravalent but also in the carbenoid divalent state and the heterocycles differ not only in the nature and number of metal atoms but also in the nature of ring bonds of the latter. Thus, besides conventional organometallic compounds having only M—C bonds there are heterocycles with M—M bonds and those with C—M—X or X—M—Y fragments (X and Y—common heteroatoms like O, S, N). The last type is the most numerous and important group of five-membered Ge-, Sn- and Pb-heterocycles in which the metals are involved in M—X and M— Y bonds similar to those in respective metal alkoxides, thiolates and amides. This feature not only affects the structural parameters of these compounds but determines their chemical properties, synthetic routes and applications. 

Chemical Properties. Simple molecular-orbital theory predicts that many organometallic molecules should show electronic effects similar to conjugated systems, since the electronic structure is generally expressed in terms of molecular orbitals which involve both ring and metal orbitals. The ESR spectra (Sec. III.C) provide physical evidence for this formulation however correlation between chemical reactivities and theoretical quantities, such as charge densities and localization energies, which has been of use in aromatic systems (60) has not been attempted. Indeed, very few detailed kinetic studies of organometallic compounds have been reported with which to compare theory. We consider the different classes of compounds in turn. 

Studies on the organo-transition metal chemistry of OFCOT and other fluorocarbons indicate that organometallic molecules with perfluorinated carbon skeletons possess structural and chemical properties equally as rich as their hydrocarbon analogues. Their structures and chemistry have helped our understanding of the effects of fluorine substitution on the physical and chemical behavior of organometallic compounds.
