3 sources for · 0 against

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

Multiple computational studies demonstrate that certain metal compounds, including transition metal and actinide systems, exhibit significant covalent bonding characteristics.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust theoretical and quantum chemical evidence (using DFT, QTAIM, and orbital analyses) showing that various metal complexes and intermetallic compounds possess substantial covalent bonding or partial covalent character, directly supporting the claim.
