Abstract
New theoretical problems concerning the geometry of transition metal heteroligand complexes are treated. The recently discovered anomalous bond angles are discussed for [OsNO(NH 3) 4Hal] 2+ complexes where equatorial OsNH 3 bonds are bent towards the multiple axial ▪ bond. Bond angles in heteroligand MXL 5 and MXL′ 4L complexes of similar types are analyzed using vibronic theory of angular distortions in heteroligand molecules. It is shown that the theory permits an explanation of the mentioned anomalous bond angles as well as normal bond angles in related [MNOHal 5] 2− complexes (M = Os, Ru).
