Question:
(a) What cluster valence electron (CVE) count is characteristic of octahedral and trigonal prismatic complexes?
(b) Can these CVE values be derived from the 18-electron rule?
(c) Determine the probable geometry (octahedral or trigonal prismatic) of [Fe6(C)(CO)16]2− and [Co6(C)(CO)16]2−. (The C atom in both cases resides in the centre of the cluster and can be considered to be a four-electron donor.)
