In organometallic chemistry, a transition metal formyl complex is a metal complex containing one or more formyl ligand. A subset of transition metal acyl complexes, formyl complexes can be viewed as metalla-aldehydes. A representative example is 5ReCHO. The formyl is viewed as an X ligand. Metal formyls are proposed as intermediates in the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide, as occurs in the Fischer-Tropsch process.
