Explain why the 13 C-NMR spectrum of [Fe 3 (CO) 12 ] shows only a single peak

Question:

Explain why the 13C-NMR spectrum of [Fe3(CO)12] shows only a single peak at 212.5 ppm at room temperature while the IR spectrum shows the presence of both terminal and bridging carbonyl groups. How might the 13C-NMR spectrum change on cooling?
