Why 6-membered metallacycle ring forms a more stable complex compared to a 4-membered metallacycle ring?
Because 6-membered metallacycle ring contains pi-acceptor ligand
O b. Because 6-membered metallacycle ring contains pi-donor ligand
Because the angle of the 6-membered metallacycle ring fit the angle required by the sp2 and sp3 carbon of the ring.
O d. Because 6-membered metallacycle ring is a bidentate ligand
