Metallabenzenes are analogues of benzene in which one of the benzene CH groups has been formally replaced by a transition metal and its ancillary ligands. This article summarises some of the important recent highlights of metallabenzene chemistry including the synthesis of the first platinabenzene, the synthesis of the first metallanaphthalene ( an iridanaphthalene) and the development of new synthetic routes to metallabenzenes. The results of a number of theoretical studies that provide important insights into the nature and reactivity of metallabenzenes are discussed and in the concluding section some of the immediate goals and challenges in this field are identified.
