Popis: A combined experimental and theoretical study on the bond characterization of Cr−L (L = O, N, C) multiple bonds is applied to a series of Cr-complexes: [(CO)4(Cl)Cr(I)(CPh)] 1; [Cr(V)(N)(bpb)] 2, and [Cr(V)(N-t-Bu)(bpb)(Cl)] 3, where [bpb2- = (1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene)]; and [(TPPOMe)Cr(IV)O] 4, where [TPPOMe = (5,10,15,20-p-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin)]. Compounds 1 and 2 were investigated by accurate single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Detailed descriptions of Cr−Ccarbyne, Cr−Nnitrido, Cr−Nimido, and Cr−Ooxo bonds will be given based on the natural bonding orbital (NBO) analyses and Fermi hole function. The bonding feature of all these multiple bonds is essentially a triple bond character consisting of one σ and two π bonds. The σ character of the Cr−L multiple bonds is a highly polarized one with the electron density strongly polarized toward L (O, N, C) ligands. The π character of the Cr−L multiple bonds depends on the nature of L ligand, i.e., with electron density polarized toward the Cr an...
