What is NBO analyses of the back-bonding in metal–olefin complexes about?

The characteristics of back-bonding in metal-olefin complexes have been studied by using the NBO analyses. In metal-olefin complexes, the evidence for back-bonding is only possible from the d M-C and/or d C@C bond length variations. However, these bond lengths might be ambiguous in explaining the extents of back-bonding, since both bond lengths are dependent upon the extents of the r-bonding as well as the p-back-bonding. Instead, the explanation and prediction using the NBO analyses of electron populations in p à -orbitals of olefin ligands and of the second-order charge transfer interactions between metal d-orbitals and olefins p à -orbitals could be more efficient and correct.
