Nitrosyl-metal bonding relies on the two interactions between the pair of N-O-π* and two of the metal's d orbitals. These (back)bonds are largely covalent, which makes their allocation in the course of an oxidation-state determination ambiguous. However, apart from M-N-O-angle or net-charge considerations, IUPAC's "ionic approximation" is a useful tool to reliably classify nitrosyl metal complexes in an orbital-centered approach. ...[more]
