Variation of through-space magnetic response properties upon the formation of cation–π interactions: a survey of [Ag(η-CH2CH2)3]+via DFT calculations†
Abstract
[Ag(η-CH2CH2)3]+ is a prototypical metal–olefin complex displaying cation–π interactions. Herein, we describe the through-space magnetic response to better understand the influence of the metallic center on the organic ligands. The analysis reveals the short- and long-range anisotropic effects produced by Ag+, which influence the C2H4 ligands.
