19. A recent report has suggested that substitution rates in 19-electron complexes are in fact slower for Ind than for Cp, the so-called "inverse indenyl effect": Pevear, K. A.; Banaszak Holl, M. M.; Carpenter, G. B.; Rieger, A. L.; Rieger, P. H.; Sweigart, D. A. Organometallics 1995, 14, 512.

29. The reports cited in ref 3 do not include examples of reactions catalyzed by Ind complexes of early metals (e.g., olefin and silane polymerizations) because the ring slippage aptitude of the Ind ligand is not believed to be a factor in these, normally unsaturated, complexes.

51. HA and FA represent the bending of the Ind ligand at C1/C3 and C3a/C7a, respectively, and ΔM-C = [1/2(M-C3a + M-C7a) - 1/2(M-C1 + M-C3)] (ref 6b).
52. (a) Marder et al. (ref 9b) have shown that, in most cases, the Ind hapticity increases (i.e., ring slippage decreases) as the overall electron density at the metal center decreases, but they have also noted some exceptions to this phenomenon (ref 12b).

56. The influence of charge polarization in Ni-X bonds on bond lengths and ligand labilities has been discussed recently by Bergman and co-workers in the context of a generalized electrostatic-covalent bonding model (ref 7d).

60. We have shown (ref 6g) that this dynamic process is not due to phosphine exchange.
61. 2 (ref 9b) have very similar ΔM-C values of 0.19 and 0.20 Å, respectively.
62. 1H resonances for H2 and H3 appear at ca. 6.3 and 3.4 ppm, respectively, compared to ca. 6.2 and 3.2 for the corresponding resonances in 3-alkylindenes which have localized bonding in the five-membered ring. The similarity of these shifts suggests that the partially localized, unsymmetric hapticity of the Ind ligand observed in the solid state of 3 is largely preserved in the solution.
