(2) is just a typo but as for (1) “metal–organic” correctly uses an en dash, and this is quite nice to see. They're consistently using the en dash even in their tweets etc, which is lovely.

(Wikipedia gives examples like “Boston–Hartford route” and “Bose–Einstein statistics”. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dash&oldid=131217... )

Thank you! TIL that the term is analogous to Boston-Hartford route. (I failed to type the en-dash here on my mobile)
