Pentamethyleyclopentadienyl, [(CH3)sC3] , anion is a bulky face-capping organometallic ligand that can exist in conformations that have five different point symmetries when the hydrogen atoms are included. Identify and sketch the different conformations of this ligand and identify their symmetry point groups. [Hint: three of these have the same highest order axis as the prototype cyclopentadienyl anion.]

It is observed that the substitution reactions of square plane complexes generally follow the SN2 mechanism. Is that true or false?
1. The molecule listed to the left was originally MX6 where the symmetry was On. After reduction of the metal center the coordination environment changed and the ligands along the Z-axis elongated(hint: this means that the extent of overlap of orbitals that interact with the z-axis point charges would be lesser than the On molecule). Draw the crystal field splitting of both the On symmetry molecule as well as elongated z-axis molecule with symmetry labels.

n 1982, F. A. Cotton and D. J. Darensbourg published a paper in Inorganic Chemistry (v21, pp. 2661-2666) describing the kinetics of isomerization of cis/trans-Mo(CO)4(PR): complexes. One of the pure isomers (A) gave rise to 4 CO stretching bands. Upon heating, the other isomer (B) began to form and a single new CO stretching band appeared. A: 4 CO stretching bands (2019, 1922, 1905, and 1899 cm) B: I CO stretching band (1895 cm) y R₂P PR3 OC-Mo R active modes for cis: CO OC CO cis C₂v ос R₂P Mo OC PR₂ trans Dah For both isomers shown above (cis C and trans Das), determine how the CO bond vectors transform under the symmetry operations of their respective point groups to generate the reducible representations for CO bond stretching.
