Abstract
A sandwich framework of π-conjugated unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands was found to provide a unique coordination environment that facilitates unusual coupling of d8 RhI and d10 M0 (M=Pd, Pt). The molecular orbital analysis showed that the electron-accepting ability of the sandwich framework through back-donation allows the formation of a dσ-type Rh-Pd bond in a (d-d)18 electron system. More information can be found in the Communication by S. Sakaki, T. Murahashi, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202101133).
