What is organometallic chemistry?

Compounds having at least one bond between carbon of


an organic functional group and metal are known as
organometallic compounds
In many compounds, both σ- and π-bonding exist
between the metal

(AlMe3)2

 It is a poisonous oily liquid with an extremely unpleasant garlicky odor.
 “when one is exposed to the smell of these compounds the tongue becomes
covered with a black coating even when no further evil effects are
noticeable". Bunsen's words
