Consider the ligands en, pn, ox²⁻, acac⁻, alaninate, NH₂⁻, Cl⁻, bipy and dmgH⁻. Let x be the number of bidentate ligands, y the number containing a chiral centre, and z the number of monodentate ligands. Find x/(y + z).
Answer:
1.75
Solution:
Bidentate: en, pn, ox²⁻, acac⁻, alaninate, bipy, dmgH⁻, so x = 7. Chiral centres: pn (CH₃CH(NH₂)CH₂NH₂) and alaninate, so y = 2. Monodentate: NH₂⁻ and Cl⁻, so z = 2. x/(y + z) = 7/4 = 1.75.
