Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
CO donates in, metal donates back.
In synergic bonding, the ligand and metal give electrons to each other at the same time, so the two interactions reinforce one another.
↳ Synergic bonding is a mutual electron exchange that strengthens the metal-ligand bond far beyond a simple donation.
Two bonds that boost each other.
↳ Synergic = simultaneous forward donation and backward donation that strengthen each other.
Follow the electrons, both directions.
The result is a synergic bond where the metal and CO are held together much more strongly than by sigma donation alone.
↳ One sigma donation plus two pi back-bonds together create the synergic M–CO linkage.
Synergic bonding explains why carbon monoxide binds so strongly to transition metals. It combines a sigma donation from CO to the metal with pi back-donation from the metal's d-orbitals into CO's antibonding pi* orbitals…

17 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
What is synergic bonding?
BeginnerA two-way electron exchange between metal and ligand
Synergic bonding involves σ donation from metal to ligand and π back-donation from metal d-orbitals to ligand π* orbitals, so it is a two-way exchange.
In the diagram, the σ bond arrow points from:
BeginnerMetal M to the carbon of CO
The σ bond arrow goes from M to C, meaning the metal donates σ electron density to the carbon of CO.
Which orbitals of CO accept π back-donation from the metal?
Beginnerπ 2px* and π 2py* antibonding orbitals
The diagram shows π back-bonds from metal d-orbitals into the π 2px* and π 2py* antibonding orbitals of CO.
Which ligands are named as forming synergic bonds with metals?
BeginnerCO, CN⁻, and NO
The source names CO, CN⁻, and NO as the classic synergic ligands because they have accessible π* orbitals.
