Organometallic Reactions Part 5: Nucleophilic/Electrophilic Attack on Ligands

The video tutorial explores organometallic reactions, focusing on changes in metal-ligand bonds. It covers nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks on ligands, detailing how these reactions affect oxidation states and ligand structures. Examples include reactions with carbonyls, isonitriles, and alkyl ligands, demonstrating the synthetic utility of these transformations.

What role do π bonds play in the interaction with electrophiles?

How can chemistry occur at the beta position in organometallic reactions?

Discuss the significance of the gamma position in organometallic reactions.
