ABSTRACT
Due to the growing practical importance of elementorganic compounds,
their chemistry and technology are developing at unprecedented speed.
Elementorganic substances are used in various fields of technology and
economy. E.g., the simplest organoaluminum compounds, aluminumtrial-
kyls, are used as a component of complex catalysts in the production of
valuable isotactic polyolefines. Some organophosphorus and organotin
substances have proved efficient against agricultural pests. Tetraethyl-and
tetramethyllead are still used as antiknock additives in fuels, etc. This
enumeration of the applications of elementorganic compounds, by no
means complete, accounts for the recent development of their industrial
production.
