Under which conditions could 2-center-3-electron half bond exist?

I performed calculations on metal-metal multiple bond. For the Cr-Cr system, one electron on σ*-anti-bonding, two on σ-bonding, one electron on π*-anti-bonding, two on π-bonding, the bond order...

Is this an antibonding molecular orbital or non-bonding molecular orbital？

Figure 1 is the HOMO for (CpCr)2C8H8, Figure 2 is the HOMO-5, i think the HOMO is antibonding while the HOMO-5 is bonding, or they are both non-bonding?

Bonding, Antibonding or Non-bonding of dz2 orbitals and the bond type

Generally the dz2 orbitals form σ bonding, but there are some MOs I can not distinguish the bond type of. It is even hard to distinguish if they are bonding, antibonding or non-bonding.
