    This document discusses transition metal complexes with low oxidation states of -1, 0, or +1. It explains that stabilization of these low oxidation states results from donation of electron density from pi orbitals on ligands like CO, NO, N2, phosphines, and isocyanides to the metal, and back-donation from the metal's pi orbitals to the pi star orbitals on the ligands. The metal-ligand interactions are primarily pi acid-base type, and the metal-carbon bond can be either sigma or pi type.
