A case is presented for an electronic factor in the out-of-plane bending of the saturated carbon in cyclohexadienyl- M(CO)3 complexes, M = Fe+, Mn, Cr-. In the cyclohexadienyl ligand hyperconjugation extends the nonbonding MO wave function to the methylene hydrogens. The phase of the CH2 hydrogen contributions to that MO is such that when the C6H7 ligand is bound to the M(C0)3 group there arises a secondary M-CHz interaction which is destabilizing. In cyclobutenyl and cyclooctatrienyl complexes this interaction is lacking and thus these should be less bent than cyclohexadienyl complexes. A similar analysis rationalizes the bending away from the metal in cyclopentadiene-Fe(C0)3 complexes, its lessening in cy- clopentadienone complexes, and the bending toward the metal in fulvene or cyclopentadienyl-carbonium ion complexes. The charge distribution and substituent effects in C6H,M(CO)3 complexes are examined, as well as a case of hypothetical isom- erism in benzyl-M(C0)3.
