Question

3. Using Molecular Orbital Principles label the following compounds as labile or inert. Can a complex which is thermodynamically stable also be kinetically labile? Assuming a strictly associative mechanism explain why the ones you chose to be labile are labile and the ones you chose as being inert are inert. It is suggested that you use the molecular orbital diagrams provided. d2 spin only d3 spin only d4 low spin d4 high spin d6 high spin d6 low spin
