Pi backbonding: Overview, Metal carbonyls, nitrosyls, and isocyanides & Metal–alkene and metal–alkyne complexes

In chemistry, pi backbonding or π backbonding is a π-bonding interaction between a filled (or half filled) orbital of a transition metal atom and a vacant orbital on an adjacent ion or molecule. In this type of interaction, electrons from the metal are used to bond to the ligand, which dissipates excess negative charge and stabilizes the metal. It is…
