Types of ligand bonded for trans-[ir(pph3)2(co)(cl)]
Accepted Answer
The types of ligand bonded to trans-[Ir(PPh3)2(CO)(Cl)] are:
1. PPh3: This is a phosphine ligand, which is a type of organophosphorus compound with the formula PR3, where R is an organic group. Phosphine ligands are strong donors and stabilize metal complexes by donating electrons to the metal ion.
2. CO: This is a carbon monoxide ligand, which is a type of inorganic ligand. Carbon monoxide ligands are strong donors and stabilize metal complexes by donating electrons to the metal ion.
3. Cl: This is a chloride ligand, which is a type of halide ligand. Halide ligands are weak donors and labilize metal complexes by withdrawing electrons from the metal ion.
The trans prefix indicates that the PPh3 and CO ligands are opposite each other on the octahedral metal complex.
