59. For insertion of the si-si enantioface of the E isomer on the model site of R chirality, a similar energy transition state (not shown) presents a relative syn orientation of the head methyl group of butene and of the second carbon atom (and followings) of the growing chain, with both groups on the opposite side with respect to the fluorenyl ligand. This transition state relaxates the interactions of the growing chain with the fluorenyl ligand but presents substantial interactions between the growing chain and the head methyl group of butene.
