(e) The ¹H NMR spectrum of Cp*Re (CO) 3 shows a single sharp peak at around 82 ppm attributed to the five equivalent methyl groups. On this basis comment on whether the Cp* ligand is best considered as occupying one or three coordination sites. (2 marks) (f) What is the Jahn-Teller effect? Would you expect the following octahedral complexes to be Jahn-Teller distorted? Explain your answers. (i) [Mo(H₂O)]³+ (ii) [MoCl.]4 (iii) Mo(CO), (5 marks)
