Abstract

We briefly surveyed metal-rich and intermetallic compounds containing metal anions that have been characterized by density functional calculations. Transition metal anions come with electron configurations (n+1)s(2)nd(10)(n+1)p(0), (n+1)s(2)nd(10)(n+1)p(1), and (n+1)s(2)nd(10)(n+1)p(2). Their nd orbitals act as reservoirs for holding ten electrons. Thus, these anions exhibit bonding characteristics similar to those found for their main group analogues.
