A pi-complex is formed when a pi bond from a double or triple bond coordinates with a metal species. This interaction is significant in various chemical reactions, such as the Heck reaction. The formation of pi-complexes plays a crucial role in catalysis and organic synthesis. Understanding pi-complexes is essential for advancing knowledge in coordination chemistry. Overall, they illustrate the intricate relationships between bonds and metal interactions in chemical processes.
