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:
“What is done for science must also be done for art: accepting undesirable side effects for the sake of the main goal, and moreover diminishing their importance by making this main goal more magnificent. For one should reform forward, not backward: social illnesses, revolutions, are evolutions inhibited by a conserving stupidity.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy.”
—Joan Rivers (b. 1935)
“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)
