Table IR-10.1 g ives the names used for ligands forming a s ingle bond to a m etal, and this is
followed by examples illustrating the naming of compounds containing one metal–carbon
single bond. In this Table (as well as in Tables IR-10.2 a nd IR-10.4) the organic ligands are
listed both as anions and as neutral species. A cceptable alternative names are given i n t he
final column.
