SAIC Pr7.1 The compound Na,IrCl reacts with triphenylphosphine in diethyleneglycol in an atmosphere of CO to give trans-[IrCI(CO)(PPH3),], known as 'Vaska's compound'. Excess CO gives a five coordinated species and treatment with NaBH in ethanol gives [IrH(CO)2 (PPH3)2]. Derive a formal name for 'Vaska's compound'. Draw and name all isomers of the two five-coordinate complexes.

Question

name and draw which are the isomers of the two five-coordinated complexes?

SAIC Pr7.1 The compound Na,lrCl, reacts with triphenylphosphine in diethyleneglycol in an
atmosphere of CO to give trans-[IrCI(CO)(PPH3)2], known as 'Vaska's compound'. Excess
Co gives a five coordinated species and treatment with NaBH in ethanol gives [IrH(CO)2
(PPH3)2]. Derive a formal name for 'Vaska's compound'. Draw and name all isomers of the
two five-coordinate complexes.
