金属有机化学,是一门处于无机化学和有机化学之间的边缘学科。半个世纪以来,人们逐渐认识到金属有机化学的意义,它的发展固然受到原来两门基础学科进展的影响,但由于其它学科如结构化学、高分子化学和基本有机合成以及应用科学等的发展也加速了金属有机化学的发展。四十年前,内燃机燃料需要四乙基铅作抗爆添加剂,化学治疗剂中含砷、锑、铋、汞的药物具有杀寄生虫的疗效,以后锡有机物在农业上用作杀菌剂,到五十年代铝有机物,更早的镁、锂有机物广泛地作为有机合成试剂,这些金属有机物在周期表 Metalorganic Chemistry is a fringe discipline that lies between inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. For half a century, people gradually realized the significance of metal organic chemistry. Although its development has been influenced by the development of two basic disciplines, due to the development of other disciplines such as structural chemistry, macromolecule chemistry and basic organic synthesis and applied science Also accelerated the development of metal organic chemistry. Forty years ago, tetraethyl lead was used as an antiknock additive in fuel for internal combustion engines. The drugs containing arsenic, antimony, bismuth and mercury in chemotherapeutic agents have the efficacy of killing parasites. Later, tin organic compounds were used as fungicides in agriculture to Fifties aluminum organics, earlier magnesium, lithium organic compounds widely used as organic synthesis reagents, these metal organic compounds in the periodic table
