Abstract
Application of the ligand polyhedral model (LPM) to dicobalt octacarbonyl, [Co 2(CO) 8], leads to an explanation of the μ 2-bridged structure that the molecule adopts in the solid state and also of the isomeric forms which co- exist in equilibrium in solution. It further provides a convenient explanation of both the observed low energy interconversion of these isomers and the fluxional behaviour they exhibit.
