Abstract
Organometallic compounds of the early transition metals (i.e., groups 3–6) react readily with oxygen (O 2). The different reaction pathways governing these reactions are distinguished and relevant examples from the recent organometallic literature are described. Catalytic aerobic oxidations are rare for these metals. However, the investigations of individual reaction steps contribute to the fundamental knowledge of organometallic chemistry, and they are valuable for the design of catalytic oxidations.
