Question

Give a formula for each of the following coordination compounds or complexes, and give the number of d electrons on the transition metal:

a. Bis(bipyridyl)(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium (2+) chloride (use abbreviations forligands in formula)

b. Tetraamminehydroxoiodocobalt (II)

c. Pentaamminechlororuthenium (2+) tetrafluoroborate (tetrafluoroborate is a complex ion with a -1 charge)

d. Tetraamminediaquaruthenium (II)

e.cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (the chemotherapy agent "cisplatin.")

f. Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphane)rhodium (II)

g. Dinitritotetrakis(4-methylpyridine)nickel (II)

a) [Ru(bipy)2(phen)]Cl2. Number of d electrons of Ru2+ are 3d10 and 4d4

b) [Co(NH3)4(OH)(I)] Number of d electrons of Co2+ are 7

c) [Ru(NH3)5Cl]BF4 Number of d electrons of Ru2+ are 3d10 and 4d4

d) [Ru(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ Number of d electrons of Ru2+ are 3d10 and 4d4

e) cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] Number of d electrons of Pt2+ are 5d8

f) [Rh((C6H5)3P)2Cl2] Number of d electrons of RH2+ are 4d7

g) [Ni(NO)2(MePy)4] Number of d electrons of Ni2+ are 3d8
