The nature of bonding in Ni (CO)? includes synergic bonding. The synergic bonding in metal carbonyls like nickel tetracarbonyl is due to two-way interaction of metal and carbonyl ligand electron density donation.

The synergic bonding is best explained thorugh Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT), which ex
