Abstract

A useful guideline for planning syntheses, in particular of new di‐ or polynuclear complexes containing d 6 ‐CpM(CO) 3 groups (MCr, Mo, W), could be the isolobal realtionship between these groups and the ubiquitous C 5 H ligand. This relationship is demonstrated on the basis of qualitative considerations, MO calculations and MO contour diagrams, and on the basis of the known structures of complex molecules containing CpM(CO) or Cp ⊖ groups.
