Talk:Group 2 organometallic chemistry

Untitled

Great article. Hope I didn't mangle anything by resectioning it.

A few comments:

• Perhaps the name can be adjusted. Something like Organomercury compound? But Organo-alkaline earth sounds weird.
• Lead needs to be expanded, but this is not my field and i can't help
• What is the typical bonding and geometry? I'm not familiar outside of transition metals; does electron counting and the 18 e rule apply?
• Similarities with Group 12 can be expanded
• Perhaps more examples need to be highlighted, and significant contemporary work mentioned with references for further reading?

• There is always room for expansion, my short term objective is the pretty weird berrylocene V8rik 20:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Radium

The organocalcium section says that the strontium and barium compounds are difficult to make, "and for the case of radium there are none known at all." But the organoradium section states "The only known organoradium compound is the gas-phase acetylide." A quick search showed nothing, so I don't know what section is right. Also, the organoradium section has no source. Any ideas?
