32. 2 coordination with the metal. Each allyl is characterized by a trio of distances (2.22, 2.20, 2.29 A) reflecting the methylene, methine, and methylene metal-carbon distances, respectively.

39. 1 symmetry enantiomers. While we do agree that this would be an issue if we were concerned with equilibrium rate constant s between chiral and nonchiral species, we feel that this makes no difference to the activation energy/enthalpy, as these are temperature derivatives of the rate constant and any temperature-independent statistical factor would not contribute.
