MP2 calculations show that the D ∞h isoelectronic dicarbonyl complexes [M(CO) 2 ] n (M n =Rh − , Pd 0 , Cu + , Ag + , Au + , Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , Hg 2+ ) depicted in structure 1 can be classified as classical or nonclassical depending on whether the metal–carbon bond lengths decrease or increase when weak, anionic ligands approach the metal centers.
