Isocyanide Coordination to One Metal Atom

Although it is conceivable that isocyanides could bind through the C N 7t-bond (t ), as for T -alkynes, this binding mode has not been observed in metal complexes. When bound to only one metal atom, isocyanides are known to

Vibrational spectroscopy is useful for identifying and characterizing C=N-R ligands in metal complexes and on metal surfaces. In metal complexes, the v(N=C) stretching frequency depends strongly on the election-richness of the metal, which
