The results of experimental and theoretical studies of the The results of experimental and theoretical studies of the structures of methane complexes with neutral metal atoms, metal structures of methane complexes with neutral metal atoms, metal ions M ions M + + and molecular fragments ML and molecular fragments ML n n are considered and are considered and generalised. The influence of the charge and electronic configu-generalised. The influence of the charge and electronic configuration of the central atom and the nature of stabilising ligands L ration of the central atom and the nature of stabilising ligands L on the mode of coordination of methane in the complexes is on the mode of coordination of methane in the complexes is analysed. The data from theoretical calculations of the structures
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
