45. 3) revealed that the former complex is 1.7 kcal/mol more stable than the latter. This relatively insignificant difference does not allow for unambiguous assign-ment of either form 11a or 11b to the intermediate 11, which most likely exists in equilibrium between these two forms, which is affected by the temperature and effective concentration of phosphine ligands in the reaction mixture.
