Examples
-
In the laboratory, organometallic reactions can create innovative materials for various applications.
-
In earlier studies 40, 41, the covalent incorporation into resist materials of organometallic functionalities containing, for example, silicon or tin was shown to enhance etch resistance in a variety of systems.

For instance, it was rare ten years ago that organometallic chemists envisioned the structure and energetics of transition states in proposing a reaction mechanism.
Academic text (2001) -
Any catalyst, not just ATP dependent ones, but any catalyst, it could be enzymes, organometallic catalyst, whatever.
-
Another approach to increased etch resistance through the use of metals involved blending a proprietary organometallic additive with the standard KRS-XE formulation.
Academic text (2001) -
But Mark Baldo and Steven Forrest at Princeton and Mark Thompson at the University of Southern California have shown that an organometallic complex incorporated into devices can act as the emissive site; that work has produced major improvements in device efficiency.
Academic text (2006) -
In other cases, one is interested in a series of organometallic reactions in homogeneous catalysis, in which the catalyst is typically a transition-metal complex with complicated ligands.
Academic text (2001) -
In the last few decades, quantum-mechanical calculations of many chemical reactions, including organic, inorganic, and organometallic reactions, have provided new qualitative and quantitative insights that have not been available from experimental studies alone.

As far as important courses, as a synthetic inorganic/organometallic chemist, I think that the p-chem sequence is the most important for undergrad theory-wise (and I prefer the quantum-stats-thermo sequence of topics).

Etymology
Organometallic joins organo- from 'organic' meaning 'made of carbon' and metal meaning 'metal'. So organometallic (as an adjective) describes something that has a carbon part joined directly to a metal, which is why chemists use the word for compounds with a carbon–metal connection.
