Abstract
The electronic structure of a series of dinuclear complexes containing metals of the VIII group is discussed by a complementary use of SCC Discrete Variational (DV-) Xα calculations and gas- phase UV-photoelectron (UV-PE) spectroscopy. Differences in the solid-state structures of the investigated series are rationalized on the basis of the proposed bonding schemes. Theoretical results point out that both qualitative electron counting methods and the metal-metal distance are very pour tools to evaluate the nature of the metal-metal interaction and if a direct metal-metal bond is eventually present.
