Reliable information on the strengths of metal-to-carbon bonds is still meager, despite notable additions made within the past decade. This unsatisfactory state of affairs has been caused by the diffidence of thermochemists to tackle organometallic compounds until recently, and by failings of conventional thermochemical techniques when applied to this class of compound. In 1940, for instance, the published heat of formation data on organometallic compounds, apart from a number of metallic salts of acetic, formic, and oxalic acid, were limited to the following items ...
