Consider the trigonal bipyramidal tungsten complex [W(CO)>(PMe3)2] 0) Draw the structure of the cis- and trans-isomers....
3. Consider the trigonal bipyramidal complex Fe(CO)4(PPh3) (Note: PPh3 is triphenylphosphine, P(C6H5)3. For symmetry purposes you can ignore the phenyl groups) a) Draw the two possible isomers for this complex and determine the point group for each. b) Consider IR data for one of the possible structures: Vco = 2052, 1978, and 1945 cm-1. Can this data be used to determine which of the two structures you drew in "a" is the correct structure? Determine the number of IR-active stretching...
