👉 In organic chemistry, an organometallic compound is a metal complex that contains a central ligand (an atom that is attached to both the metal and the ligand) and one or more other atoms. The central ligand can be any type of metal, but it must be capable of forming a stable coordination geometry with the metal ion. This allows for the formation of an organic compound with multiple functional groups and resonance structures. Organometallic compounds are important in various fields such as chemistry
