An important application of this class of compounds is in olefin metathesis, as evidenced by the application of Schrock carbenes.
One varity of this general class of compounds is known as homoleptic, and this class of compounds is employed the ROMP reactions described by Grubbs. This class of molecules often undergoes reactions called insertion and deinsertion, and a common reaction involving these compounds is called beta-hydride elimination. An important application of this class of compounds is in olefin metathesis, as evidenced by the application of Schrock carbenes. All sandwich compounds belong to this class of compounds, as do such compounds as Gilman reagents, and Ziegeler-Natta catalysts are compounds of this type. Including such compounds as Grignard reagents and metallocenes, for ten points, identify these compounds whose distinguishing feature is a bond between a carbon and a metal.
