RHODIUM(I) COMPLEXES OF BISPHOSPHONITOCARBABORANE(12)S: A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Density functional calculations indicate that the steric and packing factors seem to play a much more significant role than the electronic effects in influencing the bending of the rhodium(I) complexes of bisphosphonitocarbaborane(12)s.
