Abstract
Ab initio calculations are employed to discuss the quite unusual COD (1,5-cyclooctadiene) group orientation in the homo-bimetallic complex anti-{2,7-dimethyl-as-indacene-diide-[Rh(COD)]2}, which is related to the metal hapticity and is stabilised by the presence of Ï-hydrogen bonds between olefin protons of COD and the Ï-electron cloud of the six-membered ring of the bridging ligand. Second-order perturbative natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis provides a meaningful picture of non-covalent intramolecular C-Hâ¯C(Ï) interactions.
