Abstract:Ethylene efficiently binds late transition metals of groups 10 and 11. In spite of their reactivity, homoleptic compounds of formula [M-(η-CH)] (with n = 0,1) have been isolated in solution and solid state and characterized spectroscopically throughout the last 50 years with metals from groups 10 and 11. X-ray diffraction studies proved that such homoleptic adducts adopt planar "wheel" structures where ethylene moieties lies flat in the same plane both in group 10 and 11. These experimental findings were also … Show more
