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:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Now, honestly: if a large group of ... demonstrators blocked the entrances to St. Patrick’s Cathedral every Sunday for years, making it impossible for worshipers to get inside the church without someone escorting them through screaming crowds, wouldn’t some judge rule that those protesters could keep protesting, but behind police lines and out of the doorways?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“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)
