and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds
except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually
containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The
distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry–including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture.
