2. Propose mechanisms for the following reactions: a. Cl-substitution in [(n²-C2H4)PTCI] by Br in methanol to give trans-[(n²-C2H)PtCI Br] b. Ārene substitution in (n-C.H.)Mo(CO); by PPh; to give fac-Mo(CO),(PPhy)s. Can the mer isomer be synthesized using the same two starting materials? If so how? If not, how is the mer isomer synthesized?
