119. We cannot rule out the possibility that the reaction with dipyridyl as ligand proceeds through similar intermediates with slow, partial dissociation of one of the dipyridyl nitrogen atoms. The reaction with (-)-sparteine as ligand is much less likely to undergo partial dissociation due to its structural rigidity.
