70. The intermediate (C-type) structures must differ from the B- and A-type structures by more than just the Rh-N(2) bond length, since such a restriction would lead to the unlikely model that the intermediates and products are bond-length isomers. The pseudo square-pyramidal structure avoids this, as would other reasonable structures such as that of the trigonal pyramid.
