Problem 71 AE
The molecule dimethylphosphinoethane [(CH3)2PCH2CH2 P(CH3)2, which is abbreviated dmpe] is used as a ligand for some complexes that serve as catalysts. A complex that contains this ligand is Mo(CO)4(dmpe). (a) Draw the Lewis structure for dmpe, and compare it with ethylenediamine as a coordinating ligand. (b) What is the oxidation state of Mo in Na2[Mo(CN)2(CO)2(dmpe)]? (c)Sketch the structure of the [Mo(CN)2(CO)2(dmpe)]2- ion, including all the possible isomers.
