Bonding and Spectroscopic Behavior of Carbon Monoxide

In the steric explanation, it is assumed that the attractive interactions with the second (or third) metal atom are negligible, and the steric requirements of the 

As stated earlier, the electron density transfer from a filled CO n orbital into an unfilled metal orbital alleviates the otherwise unavoidable electronic unsatura- 

In several compounds which have unsymmetrical bridging carbonyls, there are no apparent electronic reasons to explain the observed asymmetry. Intra- and/or
