Relative Stability of Metal Complexes with Various Diene Ligands: Experimental and Computational Study
The binding strength of various dienes was established by NMR investigation of ligand exchange reactions in (diene)Rh(acac) complexes. The binding affinity decreases in the following order: tetraphenyl-cyclopentadienone >1,5-cyclooctadiene > norbornadiene > tetrafluoro-benzobarrelene > dimethyl-tetrafluoro-benzobarre...
