Bonding, in transition-metal complexe

The detailed theory of bonding in transition metal complexes is beyond the scope of this book, but further references will be made to the effects of the energy splitting in the d orbitals in Chapter 13.

In this chapter, we survey the diversity of transition metals, beginning with an overview. Then we describe the stmcture and bonding in transition metal complexes. We describe metallurgy, the processes by which pure metals are extracted from mineral ores. The chapter ends with a presentation of some properties of transition metals and their biological roles.

Indeed, the general tendency toward 3c/4e bonding in transition-metal complexes is so pronounced that such hypervalency should be considered the rule, rather than the exception, in transition-metal chemistry.

As pointed out in Section 3.1, the particular nature of the Si-H bond in transition metal complexes may explain some features of hydrosilylation. 

The electrostatic theory of the preceding section is the starting point for a more complete treatment of the bonding in transition metal complexes, in which the covalency of the interactions is taken into account. 

Metal-metal bonding in transition metal complexes of low nuclearity (i.e., with only a few metal atoms) tends to be more directed and therefore stronger than the bonding in metals discussed in chapter 11. Accordingly, the metal-metal bonds in transition metal complexes are often localized and considerably shorter than those in most extended solids. Charge accumulations are frequently observed in metal-metal bonding regions of deformation density maps. 

The bonding in transition metal complexes has been elucidated in some detail by Albright et al. [58]. The reader is directed to that source for a thorough development... 

Complexes containing anions of the above formulation have attracted a large number of studies because of their alleged simplicity. This is illustrated by the central position such complexes have played in the evolution of crystal field, ligand field and molecular orbital models of bonding in transition metal complexes. 

The recent developments in generalized Valence Bond (GVB) theory have been reviewed by Goddard and co-workers,13 and also the use of natural orbitals in theoretical chemistry,14 15 and the accuracy of computed one-electron properties.18 The Xa method has been reviewed by Johnson,17 and Hurley has discussed high-accuracy calculations on small molecules.18 Several other reviews of interest have appeared in Advances in Quantum Chemistry.17 Localized orbital theory has been reviewed by England, Salmon, and Ruedenberg,19 and the bonding in transition-metal complexes discussed by Brown et a/.20 Finally, the recent developments in computational quantum chemistry have been reviewed by Hall.21...
