Abstract
The electronic structure of indanylchromium tricarbonyl is analysed using EHT calculations and by UV (He(I) and He(II)) photoelectron spectroscopy. The modifications of this structure induced by conformational changes are correlated to experimental data of the nucleophilic reactivity of the complex. The regioselectivity of electrophilic attack is deduced from the eclipsed position of the Cr(CO) 3 grouping as well as the localization of the molecular orbital of the arene groups due to the alkyl substituents.
