Approximate molecular orbital calculations on metallo-organic complexes

Abstract

The results of approximate molecular orbital calculations on the metallo-organic complexes, palladium bis π-allyl, ferrocene, and dibenzene chromium are presented. The calculations include electron interaction and all valence electrons are considered. The bonding involves mainly the metal orbitals and the π orbitals of the hydrocarbon ligand. The results are compared with those of other workers and with experimental data.
