75. Ru-P), with N and O ligands giving the weakest Ru-P bond and C and H ligands giving the strongest Ru-P bond. In the system described here, the Ni-P bond lengths imply a similar trend (see ref 22). However, their phosphine dissociation was aided by π-bonding in the unsaturated intermediate; no such mechanism is possible for me complexes here (see ref 7). Since we have no way to accurately evaluate the Ni-P bond strengths, this effect is ignored here. Note that this does not invalidate our estimates of bond energy differences, because bond energies are defined to include changes in ancillary bonding (see footnote 34 in ref 87).
76. Since translational entropy is conserved. AS should be small in systems in which two particles are converted into two particles. See: Minas de Piedade, M. E.; Simões, J. A. M. J. Organomet. Chem. 1996, 518, 167. Entropic factors in our system will be discussed more thoroughly below.
77. 2) was shown to be largely due to a steric (entropic) effect. Large deviations were also observed for X ligands that bind through a second-row atom or can participate in backbonding.
78. nM and R (and, fortuitously, H-X BDE) held constant, the oxygen ligand binds more strongly than the nitrogen ligand.
79. In this kind of graph, deviations from 1:1 behavior are dampened by the fact that both axes contain BDE(H-X). Thus, a systematic deviation from 1:1 behavior (such as that in ref 81) can appear to give a H-X/M-X graph with a slope nearly equal to 1.0.

Such studies should be performed on more robust systems than these nickel complexes, so that entropy changes can be evaluated, and so that decomposition does not limit the choice of ligands.
