Answer the following questions for the transition metal complex Mn(OH)6. Using sigma - only considerations: a) Draw the 5 d orbitals associated with the transition metal center and state whether each one will overlap (strongly, weakly, or not at all) with the ligands (assume sigma bonding only). b) Using your answer for (a), draw and label the energy levels of the d orbitals (i.e. the d orbital splitting diagram). c) Fill in the correct number of electrons. Decide whether the complex should be high spin or low spin. d) Determine the spin state (S) and multiplicity (singlet, triplet, doublet, etc) of the complex.

Among the complex ions formed by M³* (M is a transition metal in 3d block) are the following: [M(H20).J³*, [M(NH;)6]³*, and [MF6]*. These ions have the following 9 observed colors (listed in arbitrary order): yellow-orange, green, and blue. Match each complex with its color. Explain.
2D.) Draw the structure of: [Fe(Cp)(CO)(PPhs)(H)]. It is tetrahedral...use wedges and dashes as needed. Account for the electrons in the complex. Is it a 16 e or 18 e complex (Circle one). Give oxidation state of Fe: + 2EChallenge!) Since the complex here is tetrahedral, i.e., it has four different groups on it, see if you can figure out how to assign the stereochemistry, R or S, to your drawing. My drawing is: R or S (Circle one)

Using crystal field theory, draw an electron box energy level diagram for the valence d orbitals on the manganese atom in a [MNF6] complex. Your diagram should show the relative energy of each orbital, and the number of electrons in each orbital. Note: to make your diagram easier to read, label the d orbitals with just the subscript. For example, label the d 2 orbital with just z". Energy 1
