You just chose the right answer.
Triphenylphosphine has a lone pair of electrons.
(Phosforos has 5 valence electrons, s2p3,
but there are 3 valence electrons used by the 3 Phenyl-groups, so there
are just 2 valence electrons left for the bonding with Fe.)
Fe0
= 8e-
( COT = 2e- CH3 = 1e- PPh3 = 2e- 18e- |
