Although transition metal alkylidene complexes, i.e., carbene complexes containing only hydrogen or carbon-based substituents, were first recognized over 15 years ago, it is only relatively recently that Ru, Os, and Ir alkylidene complexes have been characterized. Neutral and cationic complexes of these Group 8 metals are known for both metal electron configurations d8 and d6. The synthesis, structural properties, and reactivity of these compounds are discussed in this section. 

Although the metal electronic configuration exerts a profound influence on f3 in (128)-(130), the situation is rather different if the ligands bear strong electron donor/acceptor substituents. For example, in (131) and (132) the (3 responses are dominated by two ILCT excitations with the...

The HOMO and LUMO of quadruply bound metal dimers invariably have their provenance in metal-localized orbitals. As a consequence the addition to or removal of electrons from these dimers necessarily alters the metal electron configuration, and investigation of the reduced or oxidized species should provide information about the bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding character of the orbital involved. 

RhCl(PPh3) 3 The chlorine radical (Cl ) accepts an electron from rhodium metal (electronic configuration Ad1,5s2) to give Cl and Rh+. The chloride ion then donates two electrons to the rhodium ion to form a dative or a coordinate bond. Each PPh3 donates a lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom to the rhodium ion. The total number of electrons around rhodium is therefore 8 + 2 + 3X2=16, and the oxidation state of rhodium is obviously 1 +. The other way of counting is to take the nine electrons of rhodium and add one electron for the chlorine radical and six for the three neutral phosphine ligands. This also gives the same electron count of 16.
