Chapter 17, Problem 64IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Structure of the complex formed by 1,2,5,6-tetracyanocyclooctatetraene and Mg+· has to be sketched where dotted lines is used to show the interaction between lone pairs and Mg+·.

Concept Introduction:

Huckel’s rule states that based on the number of pi electrons planar, monocyclic, and conjugated polyene compounds can be classified as aromatic or anti-aromatic.

  1. a) The number of π electrons in a cyclic conjugated system is 4n where n is an integer, then it is antiaromatic.
  2. b) The number of π electrons in a cyclic conjugated system is (4n+2) where n is an integer, then it is aromatic.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Reason for why 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene does not make a complex with Mg+· has to be explained.
