Notes:
In the present paper, the role of (n - 1)ƒ orbitals in metal-metal quadruple bonds was studied. It was shown by the calculations that the probabilities for finding the σ-, π-, and δ-electrons between two metal atoms, under the influence of the ƒ orbitals on the metal-metal quadruple bonds, increased while their mean kinetic energy components along the metal bond axis decreased. In addition, the effects of the ƒ orbitals upon the σ, π, and δ metal-metal bonds were different. In general, σ 〈 π 〈 δ.
