Ew. Abel et al., THE MECHANISM OF 1,4-METALLOTROPIC SHIFTS IN TRANSITION-METAL COMPLEXES OF BIDENTATE 2,2'-6,'2''-TERPYRIDINE LIGANDS, Chemical communications, (20), 1996, pp. 2329-2330
H-1/F-19 NMR two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) reveals that
the 1,4-metallotropic shifts in bidentate chelate complexes of a subs
tituted 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine ligand occur by an associative mechan
ism involving five-coordinate intermediates for Pd-II and Pt-II comple
xes, and seven-coordinate intermediates for Pt-IV and, by analogy, Re-
I complexes.
