Organometallics 是金属有机化学的旗舰期刊,在有机和无机化学之间架起了桥梁。该期刊发表文章、通讯、综述和指南(指导性概述),描述了合成、结构、键合、化学反应性和反应机制的研究及各种应用,包括催化剂设计和催化过程;主族、过渡金属、镧系和锕系金属化学;高分子科学和材料科学的合成方面以及生物有机金属化学。
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
For the purposes of this journal, an 'organometallic' compound is defined as one in which there is a bonding interaction between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a main-group, transition, lanthanide, or actinide metal atom (or atoms). Following longstanding tradition, organic derivatives of the metalloids (such as boron, silicon, and the like) are included in this definition. Furthermore, manuscripts dealing with metal-containing compounds that do not have metal–carbon bonds will be considered if there is a close relationship between the subject matter and the principles and practice of organometallic chemistry.
