Question:

Name the species, draw the structures of, and give valence electron counts to the metal atoms in: 

(a) [Fe(CO)5],

(b) [Mn2(CO)10], 

(c) [V(CO)6], 

(d) [Fe(CO)4]2−

(e) [La(η5-Cp*)3],

(f) [Fe(η3-allyl)(CO)3Cl], 

(g) [Fe(CO)4(PEt3)], 

(h) [Rh(Me) (CO)2(PPh3)], 

(i) [Pd(Me)(Cl)(PPh3)2], 

(j) [Co(η5-C5H5)(η4-C4Ph4)],

(k) [Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)2]

(l) [Cr(η6-C6H6)(η6-C7H8)], 

(m) [Ta(η5-C5H5)2Cl3], 

(n) [Ni(η5-C5H5)NO]. 

Do any of the complexes deviate from the 18-electron rule? If so, how is this reflected in their structure or chemical properties?
