ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS .16. MATRIX REPRESENTATIONS OF TRIGONAL-BIPYRAMIDAL STRUCTURES AND OF PSEUDO-ROTATIONS DESCRIBING THEIR INTRAMOLECULAR REARRANGEMENTS

Matrix representations are given for five-coordinate structures (product matrices P) and for the intramolecular isomerization reactions of these complexes (reaction matrices R) via pseudo-rotation processes. Matrix transformations are also described, which allow to deduce from the general case the subset of rearrangements generated by various constraints (using constraint matrices C). Several examples are depicted and compared with previous descriptions. © 1969.
