On an erroneous view of fluxional behaviour of [Fe-3(CO)(12)]

摘要

The idea that the mechanism of the very low energy fluxional behaviour of [Fe-3(CO)(12)] may be based on the movement of the ligand icosahedron about the central Fe-3 triangle which corresponds to a rotational symmetry operation of the CO ligand icosahedron is discussed and rejected.
