1. The molecule listed to the left was originally MX, where the symmetry was On. After reduction of the metal center the coordination environment changed and the ligands along the Z-axis elongated(hint: this means that the extent of overlap of orbitals that interact with the z-axis point charges would be lesser than the On molecule). Draw the crystal field splitting of both the On symmetry molecule as well as elongated z-axis molecule with symmetry labels.

When Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordinationchemistry, it was argued by some that the opticalactivity he observed in the chiral complexes he hadprepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesizeda chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it,and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design acobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesizedand that contains no carbon atoms. (It may not bepossible to synthesize the complex you design, but we willnot worry about that for now.)
