摘要
Density functional theory studies of the d(6) allyl complexes CpM(CO)(eta(3)-C3H5) (M = Fe, Ru) and the d(4) allyl complex CpMo(CO)(2)(eta(3)-C3H5) show that the interconversion for CpMo(CO)(2)(eta(3)-C3H5) through the eta(3) -> eta(3) -> eta(3) pathway is intrinsically more favorable than the eta(3) -> eta(1) -> eta(3) pathway. However, the eta(3) transition states for CpM(CO)(eta(3)-C3H5) (M = Fe, Ru) are inaccessible, because one pair of the six metal d electrons has to occupy a d orbital having significant metal-Cp antibonding character in the transition structure.
