Organometallic Compounds
A class of compounds of the type R-M, where a C atom is joined directly to any other element except H, C, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, or At. (Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Year introduced: 1968
Trialkyltin Compounds
Organometallic compounds which contain tin and three alkyl groups.
Year introduced: 1975
Metallocenes
Organometallic compounds that generally consist of two cylcopentadiene ANIONS joined in their centers by a metallic cation such as NICKEL; IRON; or TITANIUM.
Year introduced: 2018
Coordination Complexes
Neutral or negatively charged ligands bonded to metal cations or neutral atoms. The number of ligand atoms to which the metal center is directly bonded is the metal cation's coordination number, and this number is always greater than the regular valence or oxidation number of the metal. A coordination complex can be negative, neutral, or positively charged.
Year introduced: 2010
Gadolinium DTPA
A complex of gadolinium with a chelating agent, diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA see PENTETIC ACID), that is given to enhance the image in cranial and spinal MRIs. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p706)
Year introduced: 1998
Technetium Tc 99m Disofenin

Year introduced: 1991(1975)
Triethyltin Compounds
Organic compounds composed of tin and three ethyl groups. Affect mitochondrial metabolism and inhibit oxidative phosphorylation by acting directly on the energy conserving processes.
