This English translation of the tried and tested Organometallic Chemistry 2/e textbook from the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry is designed for teaching purposes. It serves as an introductory text for chemistry undergraduates, providing a solid foundation in organometallic chemistry. The book is divided into two parts, the first acting as a concise introduction to the field, explaining fundamental organometallic chemistry. The latter covers cutting-edge theories and applications, suitable for further study.

The authors begin by exploring fundamental reaction patterns concerning bonds between transition metals and carbon atoms. They demonstrate how these patterns can be combined to achieve desired reactions and construct catalytic cycles. To facilitate a deeper understanding, numerous practice questions and model answers are included.

The advanced section delves into the chemistry related to bonds between transition metals and main group elements, such as Si, N, P, O, and S. While sharing some similarities with transition metal-carbon chemistry, this section also highlights unique aspects and differences. The book provides clear explanations of these complex topics.

Organometallic complexes have gained widespread recognition and are widely used in various fields. Additionally, the importance of transition metal complexes with main group elements other than carbon as ligating atoms is increasing. This book offers a comprehensive overview of transition metal complexes, regardless of the ligand type. It serves as a valuable introduction for chemistry students and newcomers in various fields who need to deal with transition metal complexes.
