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).
Which of the following is most likely to bond to Ni2+ as a ligand? Explain.
