Understanding the correlation between ligand cc-bonding properties and the nature of the metal-based frontier orbitals permits the rationalization of observed reactivity patterns, and the identification and preparation of new classes of target molecules.}, keywords = {CHEMISTRY, CHROMIUM, LIGAND, ligand effects, NITROSYL COMPLEXES, pi-interactions, REDOX, SPIN-STATE}, isbn = {0947-6539}, url = {://000086967800002}, author = {Smith, K.
