- Platinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardFive-coordinate coordination complexes are known, including [CuCl5]3 and [Ni(CN)5]3. Write the structuralformulas and identify a plausible geometry for thesecomplexes.arrow_forwardhas a crystal field splitting energy, o, of 2.60102 kJ/mol. What is the wavelength responsible for this energy?arrow_forward
- An aqueous solution of [Rh(C2O4)3]3− is yellow. Predict the approximate wavelength and predominant color of light absorbed by the complex.arrow_forwardTwo different coordination compounds containing one cobalt(III) ion, five ammonia molecules, one bromide ion, and one sulfate ion exist. The dark violet form (A) gives a precipitate upon addition of aqueous BaCl2. No reaction is seen upon addition of aqueous BaCl2 to the violet-red form (B). Suggest structures for these two compounds, and write a chemical equation for the reaction of (A) with aqueous BaCl2.arrow_forward
