(a) What is the electron count for the Rh complex shown in Problem 18.9c?

(b) Sestamibi (trade name Cardiolite®) is a complex of 99Tc(I) (a radioactive γ-ray emitter) that is widely used for cardiac and parathyroid imaging.[TcL6], where L = +:C=N- "sestamibi" OCH3 N-(2-methoxyisobutyl) isocyanide (MIBI)

Note that “MIBI” is an L-type ligand. Give the value of n for the dn notation and the total electron count for the technetium.


Problem 18.9c 

What is dn for each of the following complexes?(c) Ph3P H PPh3 Rh T H PPh3 Cl

[TcL6], where L = +:C=N- "sestamibi" OCH3 N-(2-methoxyisobutyl) isocyanide (MIBI)
