(i) The carbon-carbon bond length of coordinated ethylene in Ti(15-C5Me5)2(1²-C₂H4) is 1.44 Å, as determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Computational quantum mechanical modelling of the reactive intermediate [Ti(n5-Cp)2Me(n²-C₂H4)]* gives a carbon- carbon bond length of 1.34 Å for the coordinated ethylene ligand. Rationalise this difference in bond length. Sketch relevant molecular orbitals. (C5Me5 = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)
