Inter-ring haptotropic rearrangements in π-complexes of transition metals with polycyclic aromatic ligands
Abstract
The results of studies of inter-ring haptotropic rearrangements in π-complexes of transition metals with polycyclic aromatic ligands are discussed. Syntheses and structures of model compounds are surveyed and the classification of dynamic processes in these compounds is proposed. The major regularities, mechanisms and kinetics of inter-ring haptotropic rearrangements in these systems are analysed. The bibliography includes 143 references.
