85. 0 (M=Ni and Pd) and π-ligand (arene, ethylene, etc.) has been well studied by several groups: see refs. [8b], [8c], and [22a], also see:, F. Hering, J. Nitsch, U. Paul, A. Steffen, F. M. Bickelhaupt, U. Radius, Chem. Sci. 2015, 6, 1426. Our results are in good agreement with their conclusions, i.e., the Pd complexes are less stable than the Ni complexes, mainly due to weaker d-π∗ back-donation. We also recalculated two representative examples from Nakamura's work (ref. [18b]). The result was consistent with our present findings, see the Supporting Information.
