I think this is a good example how some small artistic touch can help in understanding the chemistry beyond the figure. I needed to show that Rh metal is coordinated to the interior surface of the nonplanar hydrocarbon. In a side view, it was hard to see and could be mistaken with the rim coordination. I made a rim on the back of the molecule slightly less contrast and more blended into the background, so it is much more obvious where Rh is attached to now.
