The relative trans influences of Cl and Me in the complexes (1-Me-indenyl)Ni(PPh 3 )Cl and (1-Me-indenyl)Ni(PPh 3 )Me lead to different solid state hapticities for the 1-Me-indenyl ligands. Comparing the solution NMR data for these complexes and the energy barriers to the rotation of the indenyl ligands in their unsubstituted analogues demonstrates that solid state hapticities are preserved in solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
