Examining how chemical bonds influence one another and contribute to the overall stability of a bonded system is crucial for the rational design of targeted molecular and supramolecular structures. While there are several types of chemical bonds, extensive research over the past sixty years has primarily focused on the interplay among intermolecular noncovalent bonds, referred to as bond cooperativity. Several established methodologies exist for assessing the cooperativity of noncovalent bonds and calculating the associated cooperative energies. Very recently, we showed that the quantitative evaluation of the cooperative energies of all types of chemical bonds is possible. Following the above studies, we want to show that the trans-influence of a ligand in a metal complex, defined in 1966 as the extent to which that ligand weakens the bond trans to itself in the equilibrium state of the complex, can be calculated on the basis of the concept of cooperativity of bonds
