In this section we will apply some of the concepts mentioned above to discuss the energetics of a number of relevant elementary reactions. The required bond enthalpy values will be taken from Table 1 and the entropy values from the literature or estimated. It is worth pointing out that 7A,.y terms are often disregarded in similar discussions, mainly because most enthalpy data are obtained by calorimetric methods, rather than by van t Hoff plots. However, they may determine the thermodynamics of organometallic reactions and therefore should always be considered. As mentioned above, there is a very simple method to estimate entropy terms.This method will be used in the following discussion. The temperature will always be referred to 298 K, unless stated otherwise.

The majority of organometallic complexes contain 18 electrons see Bonding Energetics of Organometallic Compounds). These complexes undergo ligand substitution, reductive elimination, and electron-transfer reactions see Electron Transfer in Coordination Compounds). Each type of reaction will be covered in the following sections.
