For both isomers shown above (cis C and trans Dah), determine how the CO bond vectors transform under the symmetry operations of their respective point groups to generate the reducible representations for CO bond stretching. (Please use the coordinate system given to the left.) Reduce the l'co representations into their component irreducible representations to determine the number and symmetry of the CO stretching modes for the cis and trans isomers. "sing the result from part b and the character tables, which of the CO stretching modes for the cis and trans isomers are IR active? R active modes for cis: Based on this information, assign the isomers from Cotton and Darensbourg's study: B: cis or trans A: cis or trans trans: (Optional) Use the projection operator to "map" the function of the IR active CO stretching modes of the compound.

The mating energy of the [CoF6]3- ion is 21000 cm−1, and ∆0 is 13000 cm−1. By calculating the KAKE of both the low and high spin states of the complex, determine in which state the compound is more stable.
palladium complexes containing the thiocyanate anion as a ligand were studied. Initially, the square planar [Pd(AsPh3)2(SCN)2] complex was synthesized and this was isomerized to [Pd(AsPh3)2(NCS)2] at elevated temperatures and these two complexes were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. To prove with absolute certainty that the changes they observed in the infrared spectra were due to the linkage isomerism of the thiocyanate ligands, they also synthesized and characterized [Pd(bipy)(SCN)2] and [Pd(bipy)(NCS)2], as well as [Pd(bipy)2][Pd(SCN)4] a. Why was it important that they used the bipy ligand instead of the AsPh3 ligands in this study? What type of isomerism would it prohibit from occurring? b. What type of isomerism is observed when comparing [Pd(bipy)(SCN)2] and [Pd(bipy)2][Pd(SCN)4]? Please draw both of the complexes as part of the explanation of your answer.

Determine the symmetry point groups of the mer- and fac- isomers of the complex [Re(CO)3(NCMe)3] and deduce the irreducible symmetry representations generated by the three stretching vibrations of the C triple bond to N ligands in each of the isomers. [Regard NCMe as a linear ligand.] Also for each isomer discussed, state with reasoning which vibrations are IR active, and which are Raman active and how many bands will be observable in IR and Raman spectra.

Elimination of an L ligand (as the first step of a D substitution mechanism) from a charge - neutral NiL4 complex has very little tendency to occur for L = P(OMe3), but for L = PMe3, it occurs almost completely.

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.)
