i. Discuss why monodentate group 15 ligands are able to coordinate with bidentate ligand effectively in the metal cluster. ii. Differentiate the Ru-Ru and Ru-P bond lengths for (L = PPh3) and (L = PCy3) if Ru-Ru and Ru-P bond lengths for (L PEt3) are 2.8733 A and 2.3480 A, respectively. iii. Explain your answer in (ii). iv. Compare and contrast the 'H, 130 and 31P{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for complexes (L = PPh3), (L = AsPh3) and (L = PEt3). (25.5 marks)
