Metal-reinforced bonding
It is well known that donation of electron density from a metal atom back into an empty orbital on a coordinating ligand, such as an alkene, weakens the π bond. Now, it has been shown that in a metal-diborene complex, π-backdonation involves bonding π-orbitals on the ligand and leads to B-B bond str...

| Summary: | It is well known that donation of electron density from a metal atom back into an empty orbital on a coordinating ligand, such as an alkene, weakens the π bond. Now, it has been shown that in a metal-diborene complex, π-backdonation involves bonding π-orbitals on the ligand and leads to B-B bond strengthening. |
