4. A low oxidation state organometallic complex contains -acceptor ligands and the metal center tends to acquire 18 electrons in its valence shell, thus filling the valence orbitals. This is known as the 18-electron rule. Show that Mo(CO)6 obeys the 18-electron rule.
In 1984, the first organometallic compounds with H2 as an ?2 ligand were synthesized: M(CO)3(PR3)2(H2) with M = Mo or W and R = cyclohexyl or isopropyl. These complexes illustrate back-bonding with H2 as a ligand. a. Draw a structure for this molecule (just use R for the substituents on the P atoms). Because the R groups are very bulky, assume that the two PR3 ligands are in a trans configuration. Only one isomer is then possible. Show that this...
