The chromium product of the redox reaction of [Co(NH3)5CI]2+ with [Cr(H2O)6]2+ is [Cr(H2O);CI]2*. This demonstrates that the reaction proceeds by a process in which: a Co(lll)-bound chloride ligand enters the coordination sphere of the Cr(l) species before electron transfer. a chloride ligand is lost from the Co(lll) center before association with the Cr(Il) species and before electron transfer. a free chloride ion replaces H20 in [Cr(H2O)6]²+ after electron transfer. the inner coordination sphere of both reactants remain intact during electron transfer.

Four different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?
Two different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.
The glycinate ion, H2NCH2CO2, formed by deprotonation of the amino acid glycine, can function as a bidentate ligand, coordinating to a metal through the nitrogen of the amino group and one of the oxygen atoms.
