Computational perspective on structure, energetics, and bonding of FeC2O isomers with astrochemical significance

Iron in its elemental form has rarely been detected in the interstellar medium despite being the most abundant refractory element. The presence of iron oxides in the interstellar medium and the recent discovery of FeC in the circumstellar envelope of IRC+10,216 suggest iron-carbon-oxygen molecules as potential interste...
