Transition metal bonding

Examples of linear addition reactions that form C-O, C-S, C-N, C-P, C-C, and C-Si bonds are reviewed. Only a few of the growing number of linear additions that form a carbon-transition metal bond are included... 

Figure 10.9 Some examples of metal sequences and metal clusters containing tin-transitional metal bonds.

Chemical and stereochemical properties of compounds with silicon- or germanium-transition metal bonds. E. Colomer and R. J. P. Corriu, Top. Curr. Chem., 1981, 96, 79-107 (68). 

A similar discussion of transition-metal bond lengths has been reported for FeSi and other silicides with the 531 structure (Pauling Soldate, 1948), and Co2Al9 (Pauling, 1951). 

In Fig. 9-2, we offer a schematic summary of the determinants of covalent character in transition-metal bonding.
