The last decade has seen the development of a rich and varied chemistry for or-ganometallic porphyrin complexes of the early transition metals (groups 3 and 4). However, there have been many fewer developments in the organometallic chemistry of the middle transition elements. Despite the paucity of its organometallic porphyrin compounds, molybdenum has played a very important role in... 

Metal hydrides containing transition metal (TM)-hydrogen complexes, with the transition metal in a formally low oxidation state, are of fundamental interest for clarifying how an electron-rich metal atom can be stabilized without access to the conventional mechanism for relieving the electron density by back-donation to suitable ligand orbitals. By reacting electropositive alkali or alkaline earth metals ( -elements) with group 7, 8, 9, and 10 transition metals in... 

The transition metal-group IV metal bond can be formed both by attack of a transition metal anion at a group IVg halide and by attack of an alkali metal derivative of the group IV element at a suitable transition metal complex. 

There are irregularities, however. In the transition metal groups 7, 8 and 9 the 3d series elements Mn, Fe and Co are exceptions. Some elements also have more complex structures, especially in thep block. An understanding of the factors controlling metallic structures requires the band theory of delocalized electrons, not discussed in this book. 

Many transition metal complexes bearing dithiocarboxylato ligands have been studied from various points of view. Their coordination modes depend on the metals and the other ligands on the metals. The complexes sometimes show interesting properties, such as electron conductivity. Synthetic methods are usually as same as those of the main-group-element complexes bearing dithiocarboxylato ligands. The insertion of carbon disulfide into the metal-carbon bond is especially used in the synthesis of transition metal complexes. 

The BAN rule is usually not applicable to complexes of early transition metals (Groups 3 and 4), /-elements and main-group metals, which have more ionic type of bonding. it-Complexes of typical r(-metals violating the BAN rule can exist but are less stable and have relatively longer M-C bond distances than those which conform to it. For sandwich complexes, this approach has been developed into the... 

As platinum and gold have similar chemical properties (neighbors in the periodic table of elements and both belonging to the group of transition metals) and the complexes [PtCU] " and [AuCU] have similar chemical structures, gold dissolution in a medium containing chloride ions (like phosphate buffered saline and body environment) is also irreversible ...
