Chapter 24, Problem 24.53(choose chapter or problem)
The molecule dimethylphosphinoetlzane [(CH3)zPCH2-CH2P(CH3)z, which is abbreviated drnpe] is used as a ligand for some complexes that serve as catalysts. A complex that contains this ligand is Mo(COl4(drnpe). (a) Draw the Lewis structure for drnpe, and compare it with ethylenediarnmine as a coordinating ligand. (b) What is the oxidation state of Mo in Na2[Mo(CN)z(CO)z(drnpe)]? (c) Sketch the structure of the [Mo(CN)z(CO)z(drnpe)fion, including all the possible isomers.
