Hi,
You may consider employing Charge Decomposition Analyais (CDA), which is a
method very popular for analyzing interaction between transition metals and
ligands in complexes, see J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 9352-9362 for details and
examples.
Several programs support CDA, Multiwfn is one them and freely available at http://Multiwfn.codeplex.com. Some example of performing CDA
is shown in Section 4.16 of its manual.
Best wishes,

Dear All,
I am working on some transition metal complexes with TPy ligand using gaussian
09 (DFT/PBE). I want to know how to determine the contributions of sigma and pi
bonding (pi back bonding). If anybody have any information (sites, article etc)
regarding this, please write back to me. It will be of great help to me.
Thanks and Regards
