Nitrosyl complexes metal-hydride compounds

For both deuteride complexes, the bond ionicities have been determined in solution as well. They show the same value of i = 85% for the carbyne species in solution as well as in the soldid state, but for the nitrosyl compound amount to i(solid) = 75 %, and. /(liquid) = 83%, respectively. This effect that a solvent may induce additional polarization of the metal hydride bond, has been observed for the first time. At the moment it is not possible to present a clear-cut interpretation of this result. However, we believe that it may provide an important step towards...
