13: Multiply-Bonded Ligands

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 13.1: Metal-Carbenes
    The organometallic compounds containing metal−ligand multiple bonds of the types, M=X and M≡X (X = C, N, O) are of current interest as they are valuable intermediates in many important catalytic cycles. In this regard, considerable attention has been paid towards developing an understanding of the metal−ligand multiply bonded systems like that of the metal carbene LnM=CR2 type complexes and of the metal carbyne LnM≡CR type complexes.
  • 13.2: Metal-Carbynes
    The metal−ligand multiply bonded systems even extended beyond the doubly bonded Fischer and the Schrock carbenes to the triply bonded LnM≡CR type Fischer carbyne and the Schrock carbyne complexes. Similar to carbene that exists in a singlet and a triplet spin state, the carbyne also exists in two other spin states i.e in a doublet and a quartet form.
