Use group theory to predict the number of v(CO) stretching vibrations you would expect to observe in the IR and Raman spectra of cis and trans isomers of Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2. Can these isomers be differentiated by vibrational spectroscopy?   (ii) Can these isomers be differentiated by 31P{H} and 13C {¹H} spectroscopy? Fully explain your answer in both cases explaining what you would expect to see in each spectrum.   (iii) Reaction of both isomers with more PPh3 affords mixtures of fac and mer isomers of [Mo(CO)3 (PPh3)3]. Give the point groups for each. Can they be distinguished by IR spectroscopy?
