Organometallic intermediates play a crucial role in a variety of organic and biochemical reactions, par-ticularly those catalyzed by transition-metal com-plexes. 1 Although a number of qualitative mechanisms have been proposed, there is almost no fundamental insight into how bonds between carbon and metals are made and broken inorganometallic species. Organic reaction mechanisms are generally characterized by two-electron changes (ie, electron-pair processes), whether they proceed by ionic or free-radical pathways. In inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, one-electron changes (ie, electron-transfer processes) are well established in a variety of oxidation-reduction reactions. To bridge this dichot-omy, we have felt that the concept of electron transfer should play an even wider role in the reactions of organometallic intermediates than heretofore sus-pected. 2We have emphasized the importance of one-elec-tron processes in catalytic reactions by examining the reactions of organometallic model compounds. In this Account we wish to describe mainly our studies aimed at probing some of the problems presented in the study of alkyl transfers in organometallic inter-mediates.
