xes in dimethyl sulfoxide solution reveals that theamine proton resonances are sensitive to thefluxional motion of the remote arylidene
groups, and suggests thatinterconversion occurs between two "bent-up"and "bent-down" forms. The prominent difference between the FMand BHM comple
xes is observed in solution,due to the presence or absence of the angle constraint of the anioniccoligands.
