39. At least three models have been proposed to explain the charge derealization in ferrocenyl-substituted carbocations: (i) interaction of the central metal with a "fulvene" π system with concomitant shift of the metal toward the exocyclic carbon, (ii) conjugation between the 2p orbital of the exocyclic carbon with the tt system of the substituted ring, and (iii) distortion and bending of bonds in the substituted ring, thus bringing the exocyclic carbon closer to the metal atom.
