35. The X-ray structure of EtZnCl displays tetrahedral Zn atoms coordinated to one ethyl and three chloride ligands: Guerrero, A.; Hughes, D. L.; Bochmann, M. Organometallics 2006, 25, 1525-1527.

37. 2Zn and Ni(0) has been similarly suggested, on the basis of DFT calculations, to lead to the formation of a bimetallic Ni-C-Zn three-membered ring with a Ni-Zn bond and a bridging methyl group: Hratchian, H. P.; Chowdhury, S. K.; Gutiérrez-García, V. M.; Amarasinghe, K. K. D.; Heeg, M. J.; Schlegel, H. B.; Montgomery, J. Organometallics 2004, 23, 4636-4646.
38. 2 appears to be a multistep process, which is presently under study.
39. With IIIa as an example, the Zn-Cl and Pd-Cl distances are 2.43 and 2.50 A, respectively. In comparison. X-ray diffraction data of a new dinuclear palladium complex bridged by a chlorine atom have been recently reported with Pd-Cl distances of 2.44 Å (for the Cl-PdCl-[Pd] bond) and 2.35 Å (for the ArP-Pd-Cl-[Pd] bond): Christmann, U.; Pantazis, D. A.; Benet-Buchholz, J.; McGrady, J. E.; Maseras, F.; Vilar, R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 6376-6390.
40. The pathways starting from Ia and Ib converge at IIIa, implying displacement of a solvent molecule from complex IIb. Alternatively, a phosphine ligand could be displaced from a diastereoisomeric form of IIb but this pathway has a much higher activation energy (20.49 kcal/mol).
41. The transition states TSIIIa and TSIIb-IIIa connecting II to III (confirmed with a relaxed scans calculation along the reaction coordinates) are characterized by motions associated with the imaginary frequency that reflect the weakening of the Pd-P and Zn-Cl bonds as well as the incipient formation of a Pd-Cl bond. However, we were unable to locate the corresponding transition structure for the transformation IIc to IIIc.
42. Interestingly, a recent paper reported the X-ray crystal structure of a Ni-Al dinuclear complex with a bridging methyl group which would also be a model for a transmetalation event: Ogoshi, S.; Ueta, M.; Arai, T.; Kurosawa, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 12810-12811.
43. The imaginary frequency associated with the late transition state TSIVa (which was validated by a a relaxed scans calculation along the reaction coordinates) shows the geometric changes occurring at both metal centers, Pd and Zn, in their respective conversions into the square-planar and tetrahedral geometries present in the resulting allenylzinc IVa.
