Question

The structure of a carbonyl compound i.e. $____$ is drawn to appear as if four non bridging CO ligands form a square plane around the metal atom. In fact the four CO groups do not lie in the same plane as the metal atom, rather they lie about 12 pm from the plane containing the metal on then side opposite the metal-metal bond towards another CO ligand.
