This review considers the methods of preparation, properties, and structure of organopolymetallic compounds containing elements of Group IVB connected with a metal carbonyl residue. Compounds of this type are interesting from the point of view of investigating metal-metal interaction, that is, from the theoretical point of view. Their practical use in various fields of chemistry and technology is possible. 176 references. CONTENTS I. Introduction 822 II.
