47. Statistical analysis of the C-C bond distances in transition metal ethyl compounds based on 107 X-ray structures in the Cambridge Structural Database 5.10 (see ref 9a) yields an average of 1.475 Å. A referee pointed out that C-C bond distances might be systematically shortened due to the fact that librational motion is not taken into account by a simple harmonic refinement of atomic displacement parameters. However, new refinements on 2 (high-order reflection data; flexible multipole model) resulted in an even larger C-C bond distance of 1.512(1) Å. This result stresses also the need of high-order reflection data and models that account for the aspherical features of the electron density to gain accurate bond distances from X-ray data (see ref 33).
