Abstract
A series of anionic group 6 tricarbonyl and neutral rhodium dicarbonyl complexes featuring substituted boratabenzene and borataphenanthrene ligands are prepared and the donor strengths of the boracyclic ligands are assessed.

Abstract
Abstract
Computational methods were used to analyse the interactions around the metal centres in three transition metal (TM) complexes for which the X-ray data are available. We were particularly interested in understanding the metal–metal interactions. We used concepts of bond order, natural population, quantum theory of atom in molecules, electron localisation functions (ELFs) and non-covalent interactions (NCIs). Our results indicate that these tools can be used effectively to help in having insights into the bonding of TM complexes.
