Abstract

The ethyl protons of the complex [Co(η-C₅Me₅)(C₂H₅)(PMe₂Ph)]⁺ which contains a 3-centre, 2-electron M–H–C interaction, interchange by a combination of three identifiable processes which have been modelled by Extended Hückel Molecular Orbital (EHMO) calculations: M–H cleavage/methyl rotation, inversion of chirality at cobalt, and β-elimination/olefin rotation.
