The organometallic chemistry of tin and lead, particularly the investigation of the compounds with direct metal-carbon bond, is an attractive research field, the interest shown by the international scientific community on this topic being justified by the outstanding results obtained in a large variety of areas, both of fundamental (the nature of the metal-carbon bond, unusual organometallic species, ligands in the coordination chemistry of the transition metals, supramolecular associations, etc.) and applied interest (polymerization catalysts, specific reagents in organic synthesis,...
