A role of non-bonding interactions in the chemistry of organometalic compounds

Abstract The degree of space shielding of skeleton metal atoms by ligands (radicals) in molecules of organometallic compounds, comprising metal atom chains or plane metal cycles, is calculated. The calculations involved constructing the projection of the molecule onto the closed, continuous surface embracing metal skeleton, as well as calculation of the total ( S ) and shielded area ( S s ) squares of this surface. The ratio K = S s / S was taken as a shielding degree. A role of non-bonding interactions in the formation of the molecule structure and the structure of a condensed state of organometallic compounds are discussed.
