Types of metal-based nucleophiles

Before discussing in detail the nucleophilicity of metal complexes towards organic molecules it is important to appreciate the depth of reactivity types that is being considered. Predominantly the organic substrates are alkyl halides and tosylates, acyl halides, aryl halides and allyl halides together with a limited amount of information of the interactions with propargyl halides, and epoxides.

5 [M(dmgH),L]- M = Co or Rh, L = a range of neutral two-electron donor ligands [Pg.6]

The reactivity of these complexes will not be discussed individually, but rather the various features of the nucleophilic substitution reaction will be outlined and the complexes behaviour will be compared and contrasted in this respect. [Pg.6]
