The Arrhenius equation coalescence temperature J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1971, 93, 15, 3587–3591 (5-Cp)2 (1-Cp)2 Ti Metal-Metal Multiple Bonds For M-L bonding Metal-Metal Quadruple Bond Re is 50 pm out of plane of 4Cl atoms Re ….. Re distance in Re Metal = 275 pm (8 e- for two Re3+ atoms) Metal-Metal Triple Bond 2π4δ2δ*2 Configuration Metal-Metal Quintuple Bond (cautiously called – 5 fold bonding) 2π4δ4 Configuration Among the five bonds present between the metal centers, one is a sigma bond, two are pi bonds, and two are delta bonds. The σ-bond is the result of mixing between the dz2 orbital on each metal center. The first π-bond comes from mixing of the dyz orbitals from each metal while the other π-bond comes from the dxz orbitals on each metal mixing. Finally the δ-bonds come from mixing of the dxy orbitals as well as mixing between the dx2−y2 orbitals from each metal. Cr(I), d5 Cr…..Cr = 183.5 pm (quadruple bond = 236.9 pm) All Quintuple bond complexes contain bidentate bridging ligands Acts as “Tweezer” using steric effects so that the M-M can come closer.
