75. IV-complexes have also been used. However, the mechanism of this reaction is not clear (see ref [13d]).
76. II species is still responsible for related reactivities [see: a) R. G. F. Giles, V. R. Lee Son, M. V. Sargent, Aust. J. Chem. 1990, 43, 777-781;
77. b) J.-Q. Yu, M. J. Gaunt, J. B. Spencer, J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 4627-4629]. This is confirmed by the observation that the isomerisation of cis-β-methylstyrene to the trans-isomer is not inhibited by the addition of the non-coordinating ligand 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine.
