Carbon monoxide bonds to transition metals using "synergisticp*back-bonding." The bonding has three components, giving rise to a partial triple bond. Asigma bondarises from overlap of nonbonding sp-hybridized electron pair on carbon with a blend of d-, s-, and p-orbitals on the metal. A pair of p bonds arises from overlap of filled d-orbitals on the metal with a pair of p-antibonding orbitals projecting from the carbon of the CO. The latter kind of binding requires that the metal have d-electrons, and that the metal is in a relatively low oxidation state (204-1228_360px-Synergic.svg (1).png
