Applications of Metal Organic Chemistry

1 Composition of metal organic compounds

In a broad sense, metal organic compounds refer to those compounds formed by a series of reactions between metals and carbon. The metal here represents some non-metallic elements, but these elements have certain metallic properties, typical examples are sulfur, antimony, and selenium.

 

2 Classification of metal organic chemistry research

Metal organic chemistry is a very important branch in the field of chemistry. At present, it can be divided into two research categories: First, researchers are mainly concerned with the researches about synthesis of metal organic compounds and the properties of related metal organics. Second, the actual role of metal-organic compounds in organic synthesis is a major concern.

 

3 Applications of Metal Organic Chemistry

Metal organic chemistry has been applied in many fields as follow.

 

3.1 Application of metal organic chemistry in industry

As far as the industrial field is concerned, there is a saying that if a company can obtain the lightest metal compound, then the company will set off an industrial revolution and become a revolutionary leader. This fully demonstrates the importance of metal organic compounds in the industrial field. At present, metal organic compounds have been widely used in the industry, such as the fields of petroleum and polymer/macromolecule.

 

3.2 Application of metal organic chemistry in agriculture

In developed countries, metal organic chemistry has been widely used in agriculture. These countries rely on airplanes to fertilize agricultural crops while also providing the necessary pesticides for crops. In pesticides and chemical fertilizers, certain metal organic chemicals are contained. For example, when removing weeds, organic fertilizers can be used. When eliminating pests, organic phosphorus can be selected.

 

3.3 Application of metal organic chemistry in medicine field

In the international pharmaceutical market, the United States and Japan are the leaders in this field, and their market share in this market is very high. Against this background, if other countries want to take a place in the pharmaceutical market, they must pay attention to the use of metal organic chemistry in the medical field. At present, cancer poses an severe threat to people's lives, so many researchers place emphasis on anti-cancer in the field of metal organic chemistry. For example,G-132 is an oxygen-containing organic germanium compound, which has extremely low toxicity and is a broad-spectrum anticancer drug with obvious anticancer activity.

 

3.4 Application of metal organic chemistry in energy field

Energy plays an important role in people's daily life. With the gradual reduction of non-renewable energy sources, energy issues have gradually attracted people's attention. Hydrogen is a very clean energy source. At present, the most important means of obtaining hydrogen is electrolysis of water. Metal organics play an important role in this field since they are photosensitizers. Under the background of a new era, the metal revolution has swept over and studying the application of metal organics in the energy field has important practical significance.
