Organometallic Reactions Part 2: Oxidative Addition

The video tutorial explains oxidative addition, a key organometallic reaction where new ligands attach to a metal, altering its oxidation state. It covers the mechanism, including concerted and stepwise processes, and provides examples with metal complexes. The tutorial also discusses the complexity and variations in these reactions, highlighting the importance of electron count and potential stereoisomers.
