Abstract

Arene exchange between free arene and an arene-transition metal complex is reviewed with respect to structure, thermodynamics, kinetics and reaction mechanism. Catalysis of such arene exchange is also examined. Experimental results are presented for arene exchange between arene and the arene-metal complexes: η6-arene-1,5-cyclooctadieneruthenium, the cationic η6-arene-1,5-cyclooctadieneiridium and η6-arenetricarbonylmolybdenum. Mechanistic features of these exchange reactions are discussed.
