24.* (1991 2 4) Using any ligand and 3d metal write the formula of a
chiral complex with 3 unpaired electrons. Indicate overall charge,
oxidation state, and dn.
Octahedral
must be d3 low spin/high spin or d7 high spin
must use either bidentate ligands or enough different ligands to make the molecule chiral.
must incorporate a metal such that the oxidation state is reasonable. |
Tetrahedral
must be d3 or d7 high-spin.
must use four distinct ligands in order to be chiral.
must incorporate a metal such that the oxidation state is reasonable. |
Trigonal bipyramidal complexes were also accepted if the structure was reasonable.
