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:
“Yours of the 24th, asking “the best mode of obtaining a thorough knowledge of the law” is received. The mode is very simple, though laborious, and tedious. It is only to get the books, and read, and study them carefully.... Work, work, work, is the main thing.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots.”
—Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
“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)
