5d transition metals

Rosengaard and Skriver [5] have demonstrated, that in all 3d, 4d, and 5d transition metals, the intrinsic stacking fault energy, 7, can be accurately estimated from the relation,... 

In fact, for 5d transition-metals relativistic contributions, and in particular spin-orbit coupling, can be of the same order of magnitude as chemical bonding. 

The cyanide exchange on [M(CN)4]2 with M = Pt, Pd, and Ni is a rare case in which mechanistic comparisons between 3d, 4d, and 5d transition-metal complexes. Surprisingly, the behavior of these metal square-planar centers leads to mechanistic diversity involving pentacoordinated species or transition states as well as protonated complexes. The reactivities of these species are strongly pH-dependent, covering 15 orders of magnitude in reaction rates.85... 

There is a lack of information about b.e.cs involving 4d- and 5d transition metals. The detailed variation of b.e.cs with the formal oxidation state of the metal remains to be defined beyond the generalization that there is an approximate inverse relation between the two. However, the comparison of D (W-CO) withf) (W-CH3) indicates that the bond enthalpy/oxidation state relationship is complex. 

In 164, no Mn—Mn bond is present and formal double bonding exists between the Mn and Te atoms. The propensity of the 5d transition metals to form M—M bonds may be cited as a reason for these differences, and the situation is similar to the valence isomerism observed in phosphinidene (RP) and sulfenium (SR ) complexes (and their respective heavier congeners) (158-160), in which two types of structures termed open (C) and closed (D) are observed (ML = 16-electron transition metal fragment). 

In most instances, the magnetic structure of a compound can be understood to be based on interacting localized spin centers, such as classical 3d/4d/5d transition metal ions and 4f lanthanide or 5f actinide cations with unpaired electrons. Note that while the assumption of localized moments is valid for many compounds comprising such spin centers, even partial electron delocalization in mixed-valence coordination compounds renders many localized spin models inapplicable.

The inclusion of relativistic corrections in the GGA thus does not resolve the problems of the GGA with the 5d transition metals, suggesting that the nonlocal contributions to Exc n beyond the first density gradient are important in these systems. In addition, the spin-orbit coupling of the valence electrons, neglected in this work, could be partially responsible for this discrepancy [25,30].
