Natural orbitals for chemical valence (NOCV) are defined as the eigenvectors of the chemical valence operator defined by Nalewajski et al.; they decompose the deformation density (differential density, Delta rho) into diagonal contributions. NOCV were used in a description of the chemical bond between the organometallic fragment and the ligand in example transition-metal complexes: heme-CO ([FeN5C20H15]-CO), [Ni-diimine hydride]-ethylene ([(NN)-N-boolean AND-Ni-H]-C2H4, (NN)-N-boolean AND=-NH-CH-CH-NH-), and [Ni(NH3)(3)]-CO. DFT calculations were performed using gradient-corrected density functional theory (DFT) in the fragments resolution, using the fragment/ligand Kohn-Sham orbitals as a basis set in calculations for the whole fragment-ligand complex. It has been found that NOCV lead to a very compact description of the fragment-ligand bond, with only a few orbitals exhibiting non-zero eigenvalues. Results of NOCV analysis, compared with Mulliken populations analysis and Zigler-Rauk interaction-energy decomposition, demonstrate that the use of the natural valence orbitals allows for a separation of the sigma-donation and pi-back-donation contributions to the ligand-fragment bond. They can be also useful in comparison of these contributions in different complexes.
