Comment on the following observations.

(a) In its complexes, Co(lll) forms strong bonds to O- and iV-donor ligands, moderately strong bonds to P-donor ligands, but only weak bonds to As- donor ligands.


(b) The values of log K for the reaction:

Zn2+(aq) + X ⇌ [ZnX]+(aq)

are 0.7 for X = F, -0.2 for X = Cl, -0.6 for X = Br, and —1.3 for X = I.


(c) Phosphine adducts of Cr(IU) halides can be prepared, but crystallographic studies reveal very long Cr—P bonds (e.g. 247 pm).
