P(6-C6H6)3
does not exist. You have confused C6H5 (phenyl) and
C6H6 (benzene). Phenyl groups form 1 bond to another
electron. Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons, s2p3,
and can not
-bond
to 3 benzene rings. Each ring would then supply 6e- to the phosphorous
exceding its lectrons requirements for a full shell. As drawn the C-5 ring
would be C5H4 and only give 1e- (
1).
This is wrong. For stability C5H4 need giving all
5e- (
5).
Fe bonds to all the carbons in the ring.
Fe = 8e-
C5H4 = 1e- COT = 2e- CH3 = 1e- PPh3 = does not exist |
