Question

3) a) lf the dihydrogen complex (left) shown below undergoes a reaction with 2 equiv. of KCa, the dihydride complex (right) is formed. What type of reaction is occurring to allow the dihydrogen complex to be converted to the dihydride complex, and what other byproduct are generated in this reaction? Reaction Type= ByProducts: b) Explain using a simplified molecular orbital explanation (with pictures) why the complex on the left is not Capable of cleaning the H-H bond, but after reaction with KCB the reaction proceeds. What Intermediate metal complex do you postulate to be involved in this reaction pathway? MO Explanation: Structure/Formula of Proposed Intermediate:
