1. Determine is the oxidation state of the metal in each of the following complexes. Draw ALL linkage isomers and stereoisomers for each complex CLEARLY showing enantiomers. Where possible, label each isomer as cis, trans, fac, mer, Δ and/or Δ. You mustproperly use shorthand notation for multidentate ligands. Note: do not consider the chirality of ligands and not all isomers can be labeled.
a) K2[Cr(ox)2(NH3)(H2O)]
b) [Rh(en)3]Cl3
c) [WCl4F(OH)]
d) NH4[Ni(CN)3(NH3)BrCl]
e) [Co(en)(ox)(CO)(H2O)]
f) Na2[PtCl2(NO2)2] (square planar)
g) [FeCl2(CO)2(NH3)2](NO3)2
2. For each series of octahedral complexes, predict which will have the largest and which will have the smallest value for Δo . Briefly explain your answers. (Do not compare actual experimental values).
a) [Fe(H2O)6]3+ [Fe(ox)3]3- [Fe(CN)6]3- [Fe(NO2)6]3-
b) [Cr(SCN)6]3- [Cr(NH3)6]2+ [Cr(NH3)6]3+ [Cr(SCN)6]4-
c) [Ir(H2O)6]3+ [Rh(H2O)6]3+ [Co(H2O)6]2+ [Co(H2O)6]3+
d) [MoCl6]3- [MoF6]3- [MoCl6]2- [MoF6]2-
e) [V(en)3]4+ [Nb(en)3]4+ [V(CN)6]3- [Nb(CN)6]3-
