Theoretical and experimental studies of the unprecedented spin-dependent structures of [Cp2Fe2(CO)2], the double-CO-loss product of [Cp2Fe2(CO)4]
Abstract
Photochemically generated [(η-C5R5)2Fe2(CO)2], which is a triplet molecule with terminal CO ligands, undergoes thermal relaxation to the singlet ground state of the molecule, which has bridging CO ligands.
