Abstract

DFT calculations predict stability of 18-electron metal carbonyl derivatives of the CB6 and CN6 species, which represent a new structural type of metal coordination compounds with non-classical ligands containing a hypercoordinated central atom. These systems exist as mixtures of isoenergetic conformers associated with the rotation of metal carbonyl groups, thus being a kind of ‘free rotors’.
