Analysis of bonding in cyclopentadienyl transition-metal boryl complexes

The chemical bonding in transition-metal boryl complexes of the type [(C5R5)M(CO)2BX2] was analyzed using density functional methods. The relative contributions to the metal boryl linkage from ionic and covalent interactions were quantified. Covalent terms were found to be roughly twice as important...
