chemistry as accessed by ate complexes. A range of ate complexes are discussed, but the chapter opens, appropriately enough, with work done in Sendai in the early 1990s. Initial discussion of sterically demanding tetramethylzincate in a range of transformations eventually shifts to the advent of organoamidozincates that are structurally covered in earlier chapters. From there, the evolution of aluminate and cyanocuprate congeners follows naturally. Again, structural aspects of these species feature elsewhere, but the discussion here focuses on their potential in aromatic derivatization. The chapter also continues a theme from the previous one. Efforts to exert control over the reactivity of boryl anions through ate complexes are presented in the context of novel nucleophilic boration. Lastly, Chapter 9 finishes the book as it started, looking at organocopper compounds. Copper‐mediated processes are well established, prompting much organocopper structural chemistry. Whereas efforts have often focused on alkynyl‐ and arylorganocopper complexes, the emphasis here is instead on traditionally unstable mono‐alkenyl and butadienylcopper compounds. The potential of steric, coordinative and synergistic strategies for preventing decomposition are examined.
Overall, this book seeks to bring the reader up‐to‐date with developments in the field of modern polar organometallic chemistry, particularly in the context of the emergent areas of synergic and cooperative species. The recent advances in our understanding of the operation of these systems are presented, but the evolution of the area is described, offering a context and explaining the need and rationale for the advent of new reagents. The hope is that this is done in a way that makes the text accessible to students as well as academics and industrial scientists, arming them with a broad understanding of how these systems present new opportunities to the synthetic chemist.

1.1 Introduction
Multifunctionalized organometallic species have played a vital role as versatile intermediates in modern synthetic organic chemistry for many years [1, 2]. Identifying a suitable metal and controlling reaction conditions have been crucial to underpinning the handling of functionalized organometallics because the reactivity and stability of these species and the effectiveness, selectivity, and safety of the process(es) by which they display metalation are strongly dependent upon the identity of the metal. This chapter describes the advent of controlled and selective metalation using traditional monometallic reagents but also outlines its limitations and the recognition that reactivity can be tuned by introducing a second metal centre. It was this view that eventually gave rise to a major theme of the current book; the concept of ate complexation of organometallics containing a very electropositive (highly reactive but perhaps unselective) metal using a more electronegative (less reactive, more selective) metal (Figure 1.1a). This idea led, in the late 1990s, to the use of not only organozinc halides or di‐organozincs but also of the development of organozincates and their extensive use in a range of organic transformations including nucleophilic addition, halogen–metal exchange, metal carbenoid synthesis, de‐protonative metalation, ring‐opening, and cross‐coupling [3]. The prolific ability of organozinc compounds and complexes to effect efficient yet highly selective transformations in tandem with inherent functional group compatibility resulted in great interest from synthetic chemists. In particular, because the latter characteristic feeds into applications in directed
