abstract
The mechanistic details of oxygen atom transfer from TpRMoO 2(XPh) to PMe3 were investigated for R = 3-iPr and 3-Me and X = O and S by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The transition state exhibits a hypervalent structure at P and is both lower in energy and later, in contrast to the Hammond postulate. 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
