Linkage Isomerism of Nitriles in Rhodium Half-Sandwich Metallacycles

A systematic analysis of the linkage isomerism of nitriles in half-sandwich five-membered rhodacycles is presented for 15 nitriles of the general formula RCN. The hitherto elusive transition states connecting the two isomers have been located using advanced DFT methods.
