7.6. [Cp*Co{P(OME)3}Et] has an agostic interaction involving the B-H of the ethyl group. Draw the structure. It reacts with ethylene to form polyethylene. How might this reaction proceed? RhCl, EtOH and other late metal systems usually only dimerize ethyl- ene to a mixture of butenes. Given that a Rh(1) hydride is the active catalyst in the dimerization, what mechanism would you bor propose? Try to identify and explain the key difference(s) between the two systems.
