The element lithium has been discovered 200 years ago. Due to its unique properties it has emerged to play a vital role in industry, esp. for energy storage, and lithium-based products and processes support sustainable technological developments. In addition to the many uses of lithium in its inorganic forms, lithium has a rich organometallic chemistry. The development of organometallic chemistry has been hindered by synthetic problems from the start. When developed the basic principles to handle and synthesize air- and moisture-sensitive compounds, the road was open to further developments. After more information was available about the stability and solubility of such compounds, they started to play an essential role in other fields of chemistry as alkyl or aryl transfer reagents.
锂元素在200年前就已被发现。由于其独特的性质，它在工业中发挥着至关重要的作用，特别是在能量存储方面，并且锂基产品和工艺支持可持续技术发展。除了锂在无机形式中的多种用途外，锂还有丰富的有机金属化学。有机金属化学的发展从一开始就受到合成问题的阻碍。当制定出处理和合成对空气和湿气敏感的化合物的基本原理后，进一步发展的道路就畅通了。在获得了关于此类化合物稳定性和溶解性的更多信息后，它们开始作为烷基或芳基转移试剂在化学的其他领域发挥重要作用。
