Main Group Organometallic Compounds
Use of substitutive nomenclature is recommended for group 13–16 main group organometallic compounds. Examples are:
- AlH2Me named methylalumane
- BiI2Ph named diiodo(phenyl)bismuthane
For organometallic compounds of groups 1–2 can use additive (indicating a molecular aggregate) or compositional naming. Examples are:
- named ethylhydridoberyllium or ethanidohydridoberyllium
- named bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)magnesium, or bis(η5-cyclopentadienido)magnesium
- Na(CHCH2) sodium ethenide (compositional name)
However the recommendation notes that future nomenclature projects will be addressing these compounds.

Famous quotes containing the words main, group and/or compounds:
“Parents need to recognize that the negative behavior accompanying certain stages is just a small part of the total child. It should not become the main focus or be pushed into the limelight.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.”
—Sarvepalli, Sir Radhakrishnan (1888–1975)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
