The noble gas compound containing a triple bond of xenon and transition metal Os (i.e. F4XeOsF4, isomer A) is predicted using quantum-chemical calculations. At the MP2 level of theory, the...

Separate reactions of [Th{N(CH2CH2NSiMe2But)2(CH2CH2NSi(Me)(But)(μ-CH2)]2 (1) with [Re(η5-C5H5)2(H)] (2) or [Ru(η5-C5H5)(H)(CO)2] (3) produced, by alkane elimination, [Th(TrenDMBS)Re(η5-C5H5)2] (ThRe, TrenDMBS = {N(CH2CH2NSiMe2But)3}3-), and [Th(TrenDMBS)Ru(η5-C5H5)(CO)2] (ThRu), which were isolated in crystalline yields of 71% and 62%, respectively. Complex ThRe is the first example of a molecular Th-Re bond to be structurally characterised, and ThRu is only the second example of a structurally authenticated Th-Ru bond. By comparison to isostructural U-analogues, quantum chemical calculations, which are validated by IR and Raman spectroscopic data, suggest that the Th-Re and Th-Ru bonds reported here are more ionic than the corresponding U-Re and U-Ru bonds.

Landis et al. claim in their comment that Ca does not bind like a transition metal in Ca(CO)8. We reject their statement, which is based on a misconception of bonding models and misleading application and interpretation of quantum chemical methods for analyzing chemical bonds.
