Ligand intermediates in metal-catalyzed reactions; Annual technical report, August 1, 1992--August 1, 1993

Abstract

Four new papers have appeared in print since the beginning of the project period (#76-79) on January 1, 1993. Principal achievements are as follows. .A_.______9__E_quilibria in Aldehyde and Ketone Complexes (pub. #76) Aldehydes are reactants, intermediates, or products in many metal-catalyzed reactions. We have sought to identify the factors that influence the thermodynamics of 7/o binding, and delineate differences in reactivity between the two binding modes.
