Abstract
A structure analysis of the change in geometry from square base pyramidal to trigonal bipyramidal has been derived for over 40 (eta(4)-diene)ML3 systems. This relationship is closely followed and suggests that a Berry type mechanism for intramolecular ligand exchange is possible in these systems. The nature of one element of the alternative turnstile barrier has been examined using extended Huckel calculations.
