2) [Cr(NMe3)4Br2]PF6

3) K[Co(edta)], where H4(edta) = ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 4) [Ir(CO)Cl(PPh3)2]

5) Hg[Co(NCO)4]

6) [Fe(acac)3], where H(acac) = acetylacetone

7) [Co(NH3)6]3+[Cr(CN)6]3-

8) [{Co(NH3)5}2(μ-OH)]Cl5

9) [TiCl3(thf)3], where thf = tetrahydrofuran

10) [Ru(bpy)2Cl2], where bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine

11) V(O)(acac)2, where H(acac) = acetylacetone

b) Determine the oxidation state and dn electron count for all complexes
