More recently, analogous complexes containing much more weakly coordinating ligands (L,,,), containing CI 12-51 and O 161 functional grotlps, have been studied, often through use o1' Ilash photolysis techniques.

Cr-Br bond lission, of fundamental importance, related as it is to the Cr-PhBr bond strength, is independent of the nalnre of the solution. The influence of the identity of l+~ upon rate is signilicant only for the "competition ratios', k,]k ~. obtamable as intercept/slope of plots of I ik,, h, versus I PhBrl / I L, I t Eq. ( 2 ) ). Since the rates or" interaction of PhBr with 1Cr(CO) s I arc expected to be independent of the identity of the incoming nueleophile. L.. changes in the "competition ratios" appear to be dominated hy changes in/,> Competition ratios vary as a function of tltc identity of L~ in the order l-hexene< I-decene < 2,4,4-trimethylpenlene. This is not an easy order Io inteq~rct; il is not related to the rclative rates of diffusion of L, through the solution 191, nor to steric effects in the vicinity of Ihe the olelinic linkage, which are expected to he grealest for 2,4,44riinelhylpenlene.
