Bonding cont metals

Compounds containing bonds between transition metals (including cluster compounds) (cont d)... 

The first volume in this new series covets the 1971 literature. It reviews the synthesis structure, and chemical and physical -properties of those compounds cont ning carbon-to-metal bonds. 500pp 9. 

The first band structure calculation for TiC, TiN, and TiO was performed by Bilz (13). He used a simplified linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method and considered only the M— X bonds as the important ones. From his results he inferred a charge transfer from the metal to the nonmetal atom. A completely opposite point of view was adopted by Costa and Conte (14). These authors ignored the M—X bonds and considered only the M—M bonds. According to their calculations, a transfer of electronic charge from the nonmetal to the metal atom should occur. Lye and Logothetis (15), using optical data to adjust the parameters in their...
