Radiation Effects in the Chemistry of Group IVB Elements (Silicon, Germanium, Tin, and Lead)

Data concerning the effect of ionising radiation on the principal reactions in organometallic synthesis involving Group IVB elements are considered: radiolysis of organometallic compounds of Group IVB elements, addition to the C=C bond, redistribution of radicals, reactions leading to the substitution of functional groups or organic substituents at the metal atom, reactions involving the organic group, and direct synthesis of organometallic compounds from the metal and alkyl halides.
