Structural Representation of Organometallics and Coordination Compounds and a Recommended Representation by Use of Dashed Lines

By using broken lines to represent coordination interactions in organometallic and other coordinated compounds, we can draw structures satisfying the valencies of the atoms present. These broken lines should be used to replace many false single covalent bonds now used to depict organometallic and co...
