Oxidation State
•  Formalism to account for “oxidation state” of metal center.
•  This is only a formalism, in reality electrons (and thus charge) are
shared over both the ligand and metal.
•  Nonetheless, oxidation state guides understanding of metal
reactivity.
•  Using ionic method of electron counting arrives directly at metal
oxidation state.

NOTE: 18e– “rule” is more of a suggestion. Many of the most interesting, i.e.
reactive, complexes do not follow this “rule”.
Basic Organometallic Mechanisms
•  To understand transition metal catalysis, we need to understand
something about the mechanisms by which the catalysts operate.
•  Many TM catalyzed reactions proceed via a series of elementary
steps.
