In this research, we have concentrated on the survey of ability of density functional methods and also modern semi-empirical approaches to reproduce the crystal structure of a binuclear silyl nickel complex and a trinuclear palladium silyl complex. In the structural analysis of the aforesaid nickel and palladium complexes, we have also interested to investigate the possibility of Si-Si bond formation between SiH2 and mu-SiH moieties from the structural and electronic viewpoints. Comparison of our calculated structural parameters of aforementioned complexes with the available X-ray crystallographical data reveals that both functionals (B3LYP and M062X) can well reproduce X-ray structure of the complex with a near accuracy while the PM6-D2 semi-empirical calculated values are not in a reliable agreement with the crystallographical data. In the next step, we assessed the nature of interactions between palladium and nickel metal ions with silyl ligands via Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecule (QTAIM) computations. Furthermore, we have analyzed the possibility of Si-Si bond formation in the aforementioned complexes by means of topological electronic indices. Strictly speaking, QTAIM calculations have been performed to explore the electronic density, its laplacian and electronic energy density at some key bond critical points to interpret the structural features of aforesaid complexes from the electronic point of view.
