Abstract
Metal-metal bonding in transition metal compounds has become widely recognized in the past decade. Hitherto interest has centered mainly around interactions between two or more transition metal atoms, but more recently there has been a renewed interest in bonding between transition and nontransition metals. Compounds with bismuth, zinc, cadmium, mercury Group IIIB metals, and Group IVB metals bonded directly to transition metal ions have been prepared, and this variety has been a factor in stimulating further interest in metal-metal bonding in coordination chemistry. It has become apparent that the ability of nontransition metal elements to behave as ligands is widespread throughout the Periodic Table, and this constitutes an important link between the bonding of classical nonmetallic ligands and interactions between transition metal atoms. Rather than to attempt to cover the whole of the emerging field of metal-metal bonding, this review has been confined to a survey of the complexes of Group IVB elements with transition metals.
