    Metal-Only Lewis Pairs with Transition Metal Lewis Basas Introduction: History of Metal-Metal Dative Bonding Concept In 1961, Vaska and Diluzio synthesized a lemon-yellow compound known as the organometallic complex trans-[IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2]. This was achieved by reducing iridium(III) to iridium(I) using just triphenylphosphine and an alcohol. This was significant because they had prepared an iridium carbonyl complex without the use of carbon monoxide. This complex has reversible dioxygen coordination

    Transition metals, such as iron, copper, zinc, nickel, and cobalt, play vital roles in numerous 67 biological processes. Because of these metals’ unique redox and inorganic chemical properties, 68 they either serve as catalytic centers for enzymatic reactions or contribute to overall protein 69 stability. To thrive, all organisms have to maintain adequate levels of transition metals for their 70 cellular metalloproteins, which account for more than 30% of all proteins in biological systems. 71 However

    Silver (Ag) is a metallic element with the atomic number of 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal possesses the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity of any metal. Silver occurs in its pure, free form as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. More abundant than gold, silver metal has functioned in many pre modern monetary systems as coinable specie, sometimes even alongside gold. Archaeological evidence suggest
