Abstract
Synthesis and barriers to inversion of a series of highly saddle shaped complexes are reported. The ΔG≠ has decreased by 8 kJ mol-1 at 243 K when the meso phenyl groups are replaced by bulkier 2,6-dichlorophenyl groups, and by 17 kJ mol-1 when one of the peripheral ethyl groups is removed.
