28. 3 groups and the two Cp protons can be interconverted through symmetry operations, and thus, if the complexes are completely frozen in these conformations, the groups under consideration will be equivalent by NMR. However, closely related 2-arylindene metallocene dihalides are known to undergo rapid ligand rotation at room temperature.

39. We assume that ligand rotation in the actual active species 3-rac/MAO and 3-meso/MAO is slower than that of the corresponding dichlorides (see ref 28) due to the interactions with the growing polymer chain and MAO anion.
