Many transition metal complexes are said to follow the “18-electron rule,” meaning they form particularly stable complexes when the metal + ligand electrons contributing to the MOs add up to a total of 18 electrons. a. Use the full MO diagram for an octahedral metal complex with pi-acidic ligands we derived in class to justify why 18-electrons might be particularly stable. b. Use the 18-electron rule to predict which 1st row transition metal would be most likely to form an octahedral M(CO)6 (Note: there is no charge; the metal retains all its electrons.) c. Qualitatively, how would you expect the CO bond to change when it forms this complex? Would it be stronger, weaker, or the same compared to free CO? (Hint: think about what a ? −???? means and what the orbital does from the perspective of the M–CO interaction as well as the C– O interaction).
copper complex crystallises straightaway when synthesising but the cobalt complex required the solution to be concentrated and cooled before it is filtered to obtain product. what does this tell you about the realtive solubilities of the copper and cobalt complexes.

What is a distinguishing feature of the reaction coordinate for ligand substitution at square planar platinum in the case of ethylene as the ligand that is trans to the leaving group?
what about this answer ? Is this also correct? Isn't it contradict? " However, the back-donation from the metal center to CO's empty 2π* orbital is less extensive than with NO. This is because CO's 2π* orbital is higher in energy compared to NO's 2π* orbital. In summary, both NO and CO are pi-acceptor ligands due to their empty 2π* orbitals. However, NO is expected to be a stronger pi-acceptor ligand than CO because of the presence of the unpaired electron in its 2π* orbital and the lower energy of this orbital. The stronger pi-acceptor ability of NO can lead to a more stable metal-ligand bond, as well as greater electron density redistribution between the metal center and the ligand." I'm so confused NO is weaker or stronger pi-acceptor ligands
