Abstract
En 中文
• The optimized geometries show metal‑carbon bond lengths contract systematically from Sc to Ni due to increasing effective nuclear charge. • EDA-NOCV analysis shows that M-C bonding is electrostatic in character, with σ-donation across the series. • QTAIM analysis confirms that all complexes are highly polarized yet partially covalent metal–ligand interactions. • CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations reveal strong axial magnetic anisotropy in Fe(I) and Co(I) complexes. • The Fe(I) complex exhibits a large negative zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter and an exceptionally high spin-reversal barrier.
