Ligand Intermediates in Metal Catalyzed Reactions. Technical Report: Third Budget Year.

摘要

A progress report is presented in which a new method for the activation of metal-bound methyl groups and the oxidative disproportionation of coordinated ethylene and methane are discussed. Also considered in the report is the divergent kinetic and thermodynamic acidity in organotransition metal hydride complexes and the synthesis, structure, and reactions of chiral rhenium vinylidene complexes.
