Organometallic chemistry - How many signals from the CO ligands do you expect to see in the 13C NMR spectrum of each of these complexes? Explain. a) [V(CO)6] b) cis-[Rh(Br)(CO)2(PPh3)] c) [Fe2(CO)4(Cp)2] d) [Mn(CO)5(CH3)]

Coordination chemistry: reactions and mechanisms - Which of the two complexes W(CO)6 or IrCl(PPh2)2(CO) should undergo the most labile exchange with 13CO. Explain.

Organometallic chemistry - The Pt-Rh catalyst in catalytic converters is dispersed on a ceramic substrate rather than as a thin foil. Why is this the case?

Working with half lives to determine the time required to reach a certain percentage of its initial concentration. - A first order reaction has a half-life of 157 seconds. How much time is required for the reactant to be reduced to 12.5% of its initial concentration?

Identifying ligands and their charges. - Identify the ligands and their charges in Co(en)2(CN)2+.
