Additional information on electronic structure comes from a NMR study of a closely related series of compounds of the type (Cp )2Hf(X)(H), where X is H, Me, OH, NH2, NHMe, or NMe2. Bercaw and co-workers observed that in the H-NMR spectrum the metal-bonded H atom becomes more shielded as the tt donor ability of X increases (51). The hydride chemical shifts corresponding to X are 8 15.6, 13.1, 10.2, 9.3, 9.1, and 11.5, respectively. Clearly, the tt interaction of the main group ligand with the metal is important in compounds of this type. 

The marked dependence of 7( P—M— P) on stereochemistry for complexes of the platinum group metals has been used in NMR spectroscopy for several years 109,115). For methyl or tert-h xty tertiary phosphines, when the two phosphines are mutually trans then a triplet pattern results, but if the two phosphines are mutually cis, then a doublet pattern results as a consequence of the spectrum being of the AA X X type and the dependence of V( P—M— P) on stereochemistry. Exactly the same behavior is found in NMR spectroscopy with the advantage that the technique is far more versatile and is not normally troubled by resolution problems. Thus for cr-[RhCl3(CO)(PBu"2Ph)2] triplet patterns have been observed for six of the eight different carbon atoms in the tertiary phosphine ligand 164). When —M—is... 

These reactions are facilitated by a good leaving group in the metal complex, which combines with the hydrogen atom of the metallated carbon atom. Most of the reactions occur on heating, but a wide range of temperatures is observed (40-200°C). The presence of ortho-substituted bands in the infrared spectrum at 300-700 and 1100 cm and multiplets in the HNMR spectrum are indicative of a metallated aryl ligand. 

The distribution of the spectral lines of each individual element is not random. It was discovered first empirically and also later shown theoretically that the wavelengths of the lines of the simple atomic spectra can be fitted to simple series formulae with great accuracy. Furthermore, many of the lines in the simple spectra occur in small groups which are called multiplets, such as doublets of the alkali metals or triplets of the alkaline earths. There is also a constant difference between the wavenumbers of the two components of some doublets or two of the three components of some triplets. For example, the two lines of each doublet are separated by 17 cm" in the atomic spectrum of sodium (Table 3). This has been shown by Ritz to be a direct consequence of a general rule named the combination principle. According to this principle, for each atom or molecule there is a set of spectral terms... 

Historically, the development and use of copper-based catalysts for ATRP has predominately been conducted with a halogen as the transferable atom and a (partially) soluble copper catalyst complex with N-based ligands. This body of work forms the foundation for most of the observations, discussions, and conclusions presented in this chapter. Other transition metals have been examined and continue to be examined by many researchers throughout the world, and that work is sirmmarized in Chapter 3.13. Other transferable atoms or groups have also been explored. " Nevertheless, copper has proven by far to be the transition metal most often used, as determined by the successful application of a spectrum of copper complexes as catalysts for the ATRP of a broad range of radically copolymerizable monomers in diverse media by many academic " and industrial research groups.

A number of investigations of the copper-group oxides and dioxygen complexes have been reported. The electronic spectra of CuO, AgO, and AuO were recorded in rare-gas matrices (9), and it was found that the three oxides could be formed effectively by cocondensation of the metal atoms with a dilute, oxygen matrix, followed by near-ultraviolet excitation. The effective wavelengths for CuO or AgO formation were X > 300 nm and for AuO was X > 200 nm. In addition, the laser fluorescence spectrum of CuO in solid Ar has been recorded (97).
