The lecture focuses on recent theoretical studies of compounds of main-group atoms, transition metals, lanthanides and actinides, which stretch the border of conventional understanding of valence orbitals and chemical bonding [1]. Part of the work is unpublished so far. [1] a) "Octacarbonyl Anion Complexes of Group 3 Transition Metals [TM(CO)8]- (TM = Sc, Y, La) and the 18-Electron Rule". J. Jin, T. Yang, K. Xin, G. Wang, X. Wang, M. Zhou, G. Frenking, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 57, 6236 (2018); b) "Barium as honorary transition- metal in action: Experimental and theoretical study of [Ba(CO)]+ and [Ba(CO)] ". X. Wu, L. Zhao, D. Jiang, I. Fernández, R. Berger, M. Zhou, G. Frenking, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 57, 3974 (2018); c) "Observation of Alkaline Earth Complexes M(CO)8 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) that Mimic Transition Metals". X. Wu, L. Zhao, J. Jin, S. Pan, W. Li, X. Jin, G. Wang, M. Zhou, G.
