Notes:
The authors state that "the average Rh—C distances in (2.26 Á) also increase in comparison to [(C₅HPh₄)₂Ru] (2.20 Á) and [(C₅H₃(CO₂Me)₃)₂Rh]⊕ (2.17 Á). This is consistent with the 19th electron residing in an antibonding orbital." At first sight the electron number is 19 but the most useful number is 18, consistent with filling of all the nine valence s, p, and d orbitals
