The Metal-Arene Complex

Introduction The point and purpose of this experiment is to explore the different modes of stretching that are allowed by a metal with a three-carbonyl ligand system. The ligand that we are going to study is an arene, which allows for it to have different properties as opposed to the normal metal ligand groups. With the ligand that we are going to create, we will study the stretching modes by IR and observe that there …
