Abstract
The first ab-initio calculations of phosphido-bridged binuclear organo metallic compounds are reported. By analysis of the influence of elect ron correlation on the complex molecular structure, conclusions can be drawn about the nature of the direct bonding interaction between the two metal centers. The formal M-M bond order overestimates the direct M-M bonding interaction in the V case but underestimates it in the Cr and Mn cases.
