Abstract
The development of the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model has a great impact on co ordination/organometallic chemistry in terms of understanding the structure and bonding in metal complexes containing pi -accepting ligands. The major ity of pi -acceptor ligands can be categorized into two types: double-face and single-face pi -accepting ligands. Metal complexes containing both sing le-face and double-face pi -accepting ligands show unique structural prefer ences. In this paper, the structural consequence for these complexes will b e discussed with the aid of density functional theory calculations. Example s include eta (1)-alkenyl, eta (2)-silane, eta (2)-alkene and boryl octahed ral complexes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
