Compound 4 was erroneously drawn; the correct structure is given below. The review also failed to point out that Trofimenko was the first to describe the compound and correctly proposed the bridged structure on spectroscopic grounds long before the X-ray result had been obtained. (S. Trofimenko, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1968, 90, 4754; Inorg. Chem., 1970, 9, 2493.)
