41. It should be recalled that dinuclear rhodium carboxylates have only one open coordination site per metal atom, while copper(I) has two; this difference may also lead to a different cyclopropanation mechanism in the copper case: (a) Doyle, M.

62. (a) MM2 calculations were carried out using the software package PCMODEL, which is a PC version of the MMX package, developed by Serena Software, P.O. Box 3076, Bloomington, IN 47402-3076.
63. (b) MM2* calculations were carried out using the software package MacroModel: Mohamadi, F.; Richards, N. G. J.; Guida, W. C.; Liskamp, R.; Caufield, C.; Chang, G.; Hendrickson, T.; Still, W. C. MacroModel V3.5X. J. Comput. Chem. 1990, 11, 440. The MM2* force field treats electrostatics and conjugation differently than the original MM2 force field. Further information can be obtained from the user's manual of MacroModel.
