COMmon Fragments in ORorganomeTallic chemistry

& their molecular orbitals (COMFORT)

This page connects you to the pages with frontier molecular orbitals of organometallic sandwich complexes. All web pages were generated using WEBMO and the calculations were carried out using GAUSSIAN suite of programs. 

Using these web page effectively requires some tricks which are given here in the link: Short Video on COMFORT  (https://youtu.be/WZ3-eGsOiBs)

The links to other molecules are organized in other pages reachable by CLICKING the sentences given below.
The ligands are organized by the number of carbons that are attached to the metal in a complex. Ligands that form Eta-2 complexes are grouped under 2_CARBON_LIGANDS while Eta-3 allylic ligands are grouped under 3_CARBON-LIGANDS

The metal complexes are organized by the closest symmetrical polyhedron they approximate to.Thus Ni(CO)4 is listed as a tetrahedron and Cr(CO)6 an octahedron.
