(a) Identify and sketch all possible isomers of a trigonal bipyramidal transition- metal compound M(CO)3L2 (L = monodentate ligand). Considering only carbonyl stretching modes, is it possible using IR spectroscopy to establish uniquely to which isomer a sample of M(CO)3L2 belongs? Show full working. If it is not possible, would Raman spectroscopy help? (12 marks)
