Question

Three possible geometric isomers of cis-MoO2Cl2(DMSO)2 are shown on the second page of this laboratory experiment. Which one(s) is the correct structure and why is it the correct structure?

The product contains the two oxo groups in a cis arrangement about the Mo(VI) center. The Mo- bonds are multiple bonds (considered to be double bonds) and they have 0 CM CL-MO- H OM20- NO C HC- CLCH Here The P M CL D101

Answer 1

Мо 0,4а (оmfо) octahedral complexes having o2- (oro) ligand have two orientations cis and trans. in this central metal atom has tvi oxidation stade and do configuration so oxo liganels should be cis to each other. there are three possible structures for cis mooge Consola MO -OS only porono groups are cis w

a ce are teams aco e omso wrecis & oxo are cis a ce ale cis but domso are trans. mogla Comsol exists in orthochombic form. having all atoms trans ,dom so are in to each. moce bands are weak should be cancel so second be poem may be the correct
