(a) Which of the following complexes would you expect to suffer from a Jahn-Teller distortion: [Crl6]4', [Cr(CN)6]4~, [CoF6]3~ and [Mn(ox)3]3_? Give reasons for your answers.
(b) [Et4N]2[NiBr4] is paramagnetic, but K2[PdBr4] is diamagnetic. Rationalize these observations.
(c) Using a simple MO approach, explain what happens to the energies of the metal d orbitals on the formation of a a-bonded complex such as [Ni(NH3)6]2+.
