(a) The following complexes each possess one of the structures listed in Table 19.4. Use the point group to deduce each structure: [ZnCl4]2 (Td); [AgCl3]2- (D3k); [ZrF7]3- (C2v); [ReHy]2- (D3h); [PtCl4]2- (D4h); [AuCl,] (D∞h)


(b) How does the coordination environment of Cs+ in CsCI differ from that of typical, discrete 8-coordinate complexes? Give examples to illustrate the latter, commenting on factors that may influence the preference for a particular coordination geometry.
