Question

5. A quick perusal of Table 22.1 in the lecture notes reveals that Group 9 and Group 10 complexes with either 18- or 16- valence electrons. Consult the textbook or any reference book, and design a similar 16- electron complex with one of platinum. Comment on the electron count of the metal center and metals can form stable these metals rather than of the total valence electrons. Predict the molecular just designed geometry of the complex you have Ph3PiRh PPh3 Ph3P
