Redoxstabilität in der σ‐Organoübergangsmetallchemie

Starting from usual principles of redox stability in coordination chemistry and from the donor‐acceptor characteristic of organyl ligands the review covers the redox behaviour of transition metals in the coordination with simple carbanions. The main topics are the stabilization of high oxidation states and the electron variability in s̀‐organyl transition metal complexes as well as the stabilization of low oxidation states, especially in electron rich phenyl complexes by coordination of lithium ions to the transition metal.
