Bonding in M omplexes igand to metal! bonding M Electron flow tal to ligand π bonding M electron flow Electron flow from filled M d orbitals into π antibonding ligand orbitals. This SYNEGY leads to stronger bonding than either sigma or pi bonding alone. M Stabilization by π Acceptor igands Screen 22.7 of hemnow D-M Bonding in tal arbonyls M- bonding illustrates why M compounds of trans metals always use low-valent metals (< +2) (usually 0 or +1). M ---> π* bonding leads to stabilization. ow valence state of M means effective nuclear charge of M is low, so M--> charge flow is possible. r() 6 White solid tal arbonyls () 5 olorless liquid Ni() 4 olorless liquid r,, and Ni have even number of d electrons tal arbonyls tal-lefin omplexes Pt 2+ has 8 valence e- 2e per - Zeise s salt 2e- donated by π electrons of ligand Mn 2 () 10 Yellow solid o 2 () 8 ed solid Mn and o have DD number of d electrons 2
