Notes

  1. 1.

    In English: “Perception means bringing together observations and the inner ideas, and reconciling their agreement”.

  2. 2.

    Interestingly, more recent MO calculations on silver(I) and copper(I) complexes have indicated that there is much less back donation between these metals and the olefin than in the related platinum compounds, and that the interaction might be primarily electrostatic (see [32], p. 4).

  3. 3.

    In his textbook “Organotransition Metal Chemistry” (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1986) Akio Yamamoto included several short paragraphs entitled “Intermezzos”, in which he mentioned some anecdotes presented during his classes at the Tokyo Institute of Technology “to help students stay awake”. In one of those intermezzos, Akio reported that in the course of his lectures Wilke frequently called the catalytically active nickel complexes having no supporting ligands such as CO, PR3 or cyclopentadienyl “naked nickel”. An American chemist thus nicknamed him “a man who brought sex into chemistry” and it seems that Wilke enjoyed this name.

  4. 4.

    In one of his essays [113], Wolfgang Herrmann (see Fig. 9.4) referred the reader to a paper by Paul Sabatier (Nobel laureate for Chemistry 1912), in which he mentioned that he attempted to coordinate molecules such as N2O, NO, NO2, ethene, acetylene, etc. to nickel in a similar way as it was done by Mond for the preparation of nickel tetracarbonyl. Sabatier observed that “when ethylene was passed through a column containing nickel, no reaction occurs at ordinary temperature....but above 300°C the column starts to glow and the gas begins to decompose; not only carbon and hydrogen are produced, but also larger amounts of ethane. The latter compound must have come from hydrogenation of ethylene resulting from some special property of nickel, which appeared to be a hydrogenation catalyst”. Though no olefin nickel complex was formed (possibly as a short-lived intermediate), this observation initiated a series of further investigations which finally led to the Nobel prize.
