34. Coordination geometry is determined by a twist angle, θ, corresponding to the intersection of planes defined by the midpoints of the outer C-C bonds of the coordinated dienes and the iron center. For 1, θ = 85°, compared to 90° for a tetrahedral geometry. In the case of the cod complex 5, the midpoints of the olefinic C-C bonds were used in the calculation of θ.
35. -1 does in these compounds. However, the metal-carbon bond lengths in 1 and 2 do not support this view and are statistically identical. Thus, the average M-C1,C4 and M-C2,C3 bond lengths in 1 (M = Fe) are 2.14(1) and 2.02(1) Å, respectively, and corresponding values in 2 (M = Co) are 2.13(1) and 1.99(2) Å, where the difference in atomic radii of iron and cobalt is only about 0.01 Å. See: J. Emsley, The Elements, 3rd edition, Oxford, New York, 1998, pp. 60, 106. Also, the average fold angles for coordinated anthracenes in 1 and 2 are 24 and 28°, respectively.
