FRONTIER MOLECULAR ORBITALS OF LIGANDS INTERACTING THROUGH ONE CARBON WITH A TRANSITION METAL


All web pages were generated using WEBMO and the calculations were carried out using GAUSSIAN suite of programs.
This page connects you to the pages with frontier molecular orbitals of small molecules and ligands which interact with transition metals
through a single carbon like CO and its analogs or a Carbene and its variations or non carbene ligands.
Clicking on the molecule name goes to the page showing the MOLECULAR ORBITALS.
