In chemistry, π backbonding is a π-bonding interaction between a filled (or half filled) orbital of a transition metal atom and a vacant orbital on an...

explained by π backbonding: the metal forms a π bond with the carbonyl ligand by donating electrons through its d orbitals into the empty π* anti-bonding...

backdonation. This model is a specific manifestation of the more general π backbonding model. Dewar, M. Bulletin de la Société Chimique de France 1951, 1 8...

bonding takes place. One important π bonding in coordination complexes is metal-to-ligand π bonding, also called π backbonding. It occurs when the LUMOs (lowest...

In chemistry, pi bonds (π bonds) are covalent chemical bonds, in each of which two lobes of an orbital on one atom overlap with two lobes of an orbital...

hexacarbonyls show decreasing π-backbonding as one increases (makes more positive) the charge on the metal. π-Basic ligands increase π-electron density at the...

and the nature of the ligands is rationalized within the framework of π backbonding. Compounds that obey the 18-electron rule are typically "exchange inert"...

sigma donation of the carbene and π backbonding of Au, IBO analysis points towards a minimal amount of π-backbonding with the respective orbital mainly...

W(PMe3)(η2-Te2)(tBuNC)4, wherein the planar tBuNC ligands show significant π-backbonding as evidenced by the sp2-like geometry at N. The ability for W(PMe3)4(η2-CH2PMe2)H...

π donor ligands. When ligands have vacant π* and d orbitals of suitable energy, there is the possibility of pi backbonding, and the ligands may be π acceptors...
