Abstract

The minimum energy crossing point between the doublet and quartet potential energy surfaces of CpMoCl2(PH3)2 is calculated to lie 4.8 kcal mol-1 lower in energy than the doublet dissociative intermediate CpMoCl2(PH3). Implications for the influence of spin state changes on the rates of organometallic reactions are discussed.
