67. 2 solution did not show this behavior. However, no differences were observed concerning the formation and decomposition of organometallic products.
68. H-H = 7.4 Hz), the rate of isomerization is expected to be slow enough to be observed by NMR spectroscopy. However, no characteristic resonances attributable to an Ni(II) enolate species were observed in the NMR spectra, suggesting that isomerization either does not occur, or that the equilibrium concentration of the O-bound isomer is too small to be detected.

Terpolymerization of CO, ethylene, and VA with an in situ formed cationic Pd(II) catalyst system based on bidentate phosphorus ligands afforded an alternating CO-olefin (olefin = ethylene, VA) copolymer with a VA incorporation of up to 1.5 mol %. No adjacent ethylene and VA units were observed: Drent, E. EP 0251373 B1, 1992.

81. 2Ni]•3dmso. The quality of the structure calculation from the diffraction data suffered from the severe disorder of one of the three solvent molecules in the crystal latice, which could not be resolved. Notably, the coordination sphere around Ni(II) was found to be strongly distorted. Bischelate complexes have been commonly observed as one ultimate nickel-containing product from decomposition of neutral Ni(II) alkyl species, see reference [10l] Hristov, I. H.; DeKock, R.
