Ligand-modulated metallophilicity: influence of π-acceptor and σ-donor strength
In closed-shell metal–metal (M–M) systems, strong π-backbonding between metals and ligands weakens M–M Pauli repulsion, permitting shorter M–M bond lengths. Conversely, σ-donating interactions amplify repulsion, resulting in elongated M–M distances.
