Ligand Nomenclature

18 Electron Rule: Examples Cr(CO)6 5 ( -C5H5)Fe(CO)2Cl [Re(CO)5(PF3)] PF3 is neutral

18 Electron Rule

18 Electron Rule: Why? Use an octahedral example Happens with strong -donor and/or strong -backbonding ligands. Why not fewer e-’s? Why not more e-’s?

16/18 Electron Rule: Important 16-e- square planar examples; all high field d8

18 Electron Rule: Many, many classical complexes don’t follow it. [Zn(en)3]2 Cr(NH3)63
