The cluster-alkene complexes 2-CH2CHR)(μ3-η2:η2:η2-C6H6)> (R=H, Ph) contain benzene ligands in a face-capping co-ordination mode, and the geometry of the ethylene derivative has been confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray analysis; the intramolecular dynamics of these complexes have been investigated in solution by n.m.r. spectroscopy and are discussed in terms of arene ring-whizzing and alkene rotation.
