Abstract
Novelties and surprises from metal carbonyl chemistry: salts thermally stable up to 200 °C with [M(CO)2]+ (M = Ag, Au) and [M(CO)4]2+ ions (M = Pt, Pd), which show only negligible π‐backbonding, indicate that we need to revise our understanding of transition metal carbonyl interactions. Further investigations should reveal whether these salts with their unusual bonding also react differently from classical metal carbonyls.
