Participation of transition metal atoms in noncovalent bonds
Steve Scheiner
Abstract
nucleophile. The resulting M⋯N bonds tend to be stronger than their p-block analogues, many of them with a substantial degree of covalency. The way in which the properties of these bonds is affected by the row and column of the periodic table from which the M atom is drawn, and the number and nature of ligands, is elucidated.
