Effects of 5,5-substitution on dipyrrolylmethaneligand isomerization

Abstract

The difference in steric profiles for η5 and η1-pyrrolyls can be used to modify barriers for pyrrolyl exchange. The method investigated incorporated 1,3-diaxial interactions in a cyclohexyl backbone of the dipyrrolylmethane. Some of the enthalpic barrier created with the 1,3-steric interactions appears to be mediated by increased entropy in the ground state, but noticeable changes are produced in the pyrrolyl exchange rates by 1H NMR without steric crowding at the metal center.
