1 RP. Ni R3P d. Consider complex 1. i. Draw a molecular orbital (MO) energy level diagram to describe the interactions between the nickel and the alkene ligand. You must include sketches of the orbital overlaps for full marks. [4 marks] ii. Suggest a strategy to increase the strength of the interaction between the metal and alkene ligand. Briefly explain how and why this strategy affects metal-carbon and carbon-carbon bond strength and geometry. [4 marks)
