Thermodynamics of organometallic compounds

Investigation results of thermodynamic properties of organometallic compounds (OMC) obtained by the authors and given in literature are described. Data on heat capacity, parameters of phase transitions, thermodynamic functions of more than 50 organic compounds of transition and non-transition metals (including In, Cd) in the condensed and gaseous state are given. The values of mean entropy and Gibbs energy, dissociation energy of element-ligand or element-radical binding in the compounds studied are calculated. Examples of using data obtained for thermodynamic analysis of practically important synthesis reactions, hydrogenation and thermal decomposition of OMC are presented. Perspectives of further investigations in the region of OMC thermodynamics are estimated
