 Press Release: The 1973 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Chemistry is a scientific discipline with very wide applications ranging from biological-medical to the technological field.
The birth of organometallic chemistry can be traced to the 18th century, but the first organometallic compound proper was prepared 1849 by Frankland in Great Britain.
The basic concept of organometallic chemistry was from 1949 and onwards widened through important contributions by the two British chemists Dewar and Chatt and a number of other scientists who investigated compounds where a metal atom was bonded to a bond between two carbon atoms rather than to the individual carbon atoms.

 The Organometallic HyperTextBook: Organometallics Defined
Organometallic chemistry is typically thought of as a subset of Inorganic Coordination chemistry, although it also plays an major role in Organic and Materials chemistries.
For the purposes of this journal, an "organometallic" compound will be defined as one in which there is a bonding interaction (ionic or covalent, localized or delocalized) between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a main group, transition, lanthanide, or actinide metal atom (or atoms).
Although most chemists refer to the field as Organometallic, some use other names either out of habit, to stress one part of it (the organic or the metallic), or to narrow the scope.

 C&EN: LATEST NEWS - ZINC ATOMS LINK UP
In what is being called "a landmark discovery in the chemistry of zinc," researchers in Spain have prepared and characterized the first stable molecular compound containing a zinc-zinc bond [Science, 305, 1136 (2004)].
The discovery was unexpected, says Ernesto Carmona, a professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Seville.
In a Science commentary on the work, chemistry professor Gerard Parkin of Columbia University notes that it is "experimentally very difficult to disprove the presence of a bridging hydride ligand (especially by X-ray diffraction), but excellent evidence is provided by the high-resolution mass spectrum," which is consistent with a Zn–Zn bond free of bridging hydrides.
