Electron count


Determine the number of electrons for each compound/ complex below and tell if you expect it to be stable:
 
 
 
(h6-C6H6)2Fe Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2
Cp2NbH(C2H4) [HFe(CO)4] -
Re(CO)5 Pt(PBu3)3
Cp(NO)2W-H (PrO)3W=CMe2
[Cp(diphos)(CO)2Mo]+ [Cp(PhCCH)(CO)2Fe]+
(h6-C6H6)Mn(CO)2CH3 [Cp(CO)(NO)Mo(h3-C3H3)]+
Vaska's compound: trans-Ir(PPh3)2(CO)Cl Cp(CO)2Re(CH3)2
Cp*Ru(CO)2Br CpRu(PPh3)2Cl
[CpRu(PPh3)2]+ [CpRu(PPh3)2(n-PrSH)]+
(NH4)2MoO4 Cp2ZrCl(OMe)
Cp2Ti(CO)2 (Ph)2Ni(PPh3)2
Mo(CO)6 PtCl2I22-
[CpRu(CO)2]2 Cp2Mo(HCCH)
PdCl2(NCCH3)2 Mo(CO)3(NCCH3)3
Cp => h5-C5H5-
Cp* => h5-C5(CH3)5-
diphos => Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2
