Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Transition metal d-block electrons actively participate in valence bonding, with their exact contribution modulated by the metal's oxidation state and local coordination environment.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that the participation of transition metal d-electrons in bonding, coordination, and redox mechanisms depends heavily on oxidation states, coordination geometry, and chemical environments.
