Question
Draw the structure of the following compounds and indicate the formal oxidation state and the number of electrons in the valence shell of the metal. Predict whether each of these compounds may be stable enough to be characterized under normal ambient conditions. (i) [Rh(n2-C2H4)(PPh3)2Cl] (ii) [(n5-C5H5)2Ti(CO)2] (iii) [(n5-C5H5)Mo(CO)2(n3-C3H5)] (iv) [Fe(n6-C6H6)2] Can you please explain how to get these answers in detail, im more interetsed in understanding it rather than having answers.
