Abstract: | The electronic asymmetry induced by replacing two carbonyls by a nitrosyl and iodide ligand causes severe distortion in the allyl moiety. The allyl group in the nitrosyl complex is bound in a sigma-pi mode rather than the symmetrical mode found in the dicarbonyl. This change in ground state structure alters the exo—endo conformer interconversion mechanism from a rotation of the allyl in the dicarbonyl to a sigma-pi interconversion in the nitrosyl iodide. |
