“…The presence of a stable intramolecular Lewis base adduct, involving the (dimethylamino)ethyl unit, is indicated in the 1 H NMR spectra by a downfield shift of the methylene protons in a position α to the terminal N atom of the side chain. , Furthermore, the multiplicity of the spin system of the CH 2 CH 2 moiety changes from a simple AB 2 system of the free side chain to a more or less resolved AA‘BB‘ system upon coordination to the Lewis acid center, because of the restricted conformational freedom. , The 1 H and 13 C NMR data for the noncoordinated ethylamino moiety of 2 are very similar to the values reported for the permethylated derivative [Cp* N (CO)Ni] 2 (Cp* N = 1-[2-dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl), the structure of which is known, proving the existence of the free uncomplexed aminoethyl group . The 1 H NMR spectrum of the two methylene groups for 2 shows some unusual temperature dependence.…”
