Overview of organometallic electrochemistry

Abstract

This review describes the study of organometallic complexes and their interaction with electricity. It explains the key developments and background of organometallic electrochemistry, highlighting its importance. The review then focuses on specific goals, exploring the redox properties and electroactivity of organometallic complexes, followed by a discussion of their electron transfer mechanisms. It also covers the electrochemical synthesis of these molecules, describing the processes involved. In addition, fundamental concepts like molecular electroactivation are discussed, along with their practical implications. This perspective provides junior researchers with an overview and proposes future research directions.
