Summary

  1. 1.

    Theoretical grounds have been given for a consistent single-stage mechanism for the decomposition of geminal and vicinal organometallic halogen compounds (OMHC) with the formation of carbenes and arynes, the driving force of which is intramolecular coordination of the halogen and metal atoms.

  2. 2.

    Within the framework of this mechanism, an analysis has been made on the manner in which OMHC stability depends on the heat effect of the decomposition reaction, the difference in energies of the coordinating orbitals, and the distance between the atoms that split out.
