Which compound is added to petrol to prevent engines from knocking?

Antiknock additives like tetraethyllead (TEL) or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) are added to petrol to prevent engine knocking. These compounds increase the octane rating of petrol, reducing the likelihood of premature ignition in the engine.
