The stereospecificity of the ligand, R-N,N,N?,N?-tetrakis(2?- aminoethyl)-1,2-diaminopropane, when coordinated as a sexadentate chelate to cobalt(III), has been investigated by an a priori calculation of the conformational energy difference between the various possible absolute configurations of the complex. It has been shown that the L isomer is more stable than the D isomer by an extremely large energy difference which is due mainly to van der Waals interactions. Some of the terms which contribute to conformational energy differences between metal complexes have not been considered previously.

The initial ratios of cis- to trans-dibromoethene product in the stannous chloride reduction of sym-tetrabromoethane in dimethylformamide were 1.51 ± 0.04 at 25°, 1.36 ± 0.03 at 50°, and 1.20 ± 0.03 at 75°. Transition state energy differences in the trans–gauche tetrabromoethane rotamers are estimated as (Ht≠ – Hg≠) = 480 and (Ft≠ – Fg≠) = 244 cal/mole at 25°. A conformational energy analysis was performed. We have shown how a rate-equilibrium parallelism can be adapted to a conformational analysis for systems of this type, and how α, a constant between zero and unity, can be used to characterize the transition state relative to reactants and products (eq. [8]). In the present system, however, there is no rate-equilibrium parallelism and α cannot be defined.
