“…The chemistry of metal carbonyl complexes has attracted considerable theoretical and experimental interest 13 because the bonding interactions between metals and CO act as suitable models for fundamentally understanding their chemical bonding 14,15 and the formation of stable metal−metal bond complexes. 16 Various monometallic and bimetallic main-group elements and transition-metal carbonyl complexes have been characterized by both experimental and quantum chemical studies. 17 Take group 13-bonded carbonyl complexes as an example: monometallic B(CO) n , 18,19 Al(CO) n , 20 Ga(CO) n , 21 and In-(CO) n (n = 1 and 2) and bimetallic B 2 (CO) 2 , 18,22 B 2 (CO), 23 Al 2 (CO), Al 2 (CO) 2 , 24,25 Ga 2 CO, and In 2 (CO) 21 have been produced in the gas phase under certain conditions.…”
