Acyclic ligands

•	Examine the structures of the next 5 entries in the file (these include refcodes: KCEYPT, DUMVEM, BIPJEP, LAXLAY, DIJHIN01).

•	Identify the hapticity of the organometallic ligands and complete the table below. For diagrams, provide standard organic stick diagrams (Note: LAXLAY has two different organometallic ligands).

 

CSD Refcode	Compound	Uncoordinated Ligand	Hapticity	Name
LAXLAY			η1 (eta-1)	(3,3,3-trifluoroethynyl phenylmercury(II)
LAXLAY
KCEYPT
BIPJEP
DIJHIN01
DUMVEM

 

•	Notice that metal bonding fragment of all of the organometallic ligands in the above table are acyclic ligands.
