The red-brown complex RhCI(PPh3)z is known as Wilkinson's catalyst, and catalyses the hydrogenation of alkenes. (a) Determine the rhodium oxidation state and number of d-electrons in this complex. [1] (b) (0) Draw a structural diagram of this complex that clearly shows the stereochemistry (geometry). [2] (ii) How many isomers are there for this complex? [1] (c) (0) Draw a fully labelled crystal field splitting diagram for the complex drawn in part (b) to show the relative energies of the d-orbitals. Add the appropriate number of electrons to the diagram. [3] (ii) Calculate the spin-only magnetic moment (uso) for this complex. [1] (d) Specify a ligand bonding type for each ligand in this complex. ] [2]
