For 10 points, name this strongest type of covalent bond, the only kind found in alkanes,contrasted with the delta and pi bonds.
Kubas et al. described an example of a coordination complex involving this type of bond whichare contrasted with Werner-type compounds. This type of bond names a metathesis that commonlyoccurs with early transition metals in their highest oxidation state and that does not involve a changein oxidation state. That previously mentioned example of a coordination complex is the dihydrogencomplex. A distinguishing feature of this type of bond is that there is no (*) nodal plane containing theline segment between the two bonded species, which means that the overlap region lies directly betweenthe two nuclei.
