Octahedral Metal Geometry
Not what you're looking for?
1. Some octahedral metal complexes are known to undergo the dissociative mechanism shown below. Consider both a d8 strong field complex and a d8 weak field complex. Would either of these complexes be expected to undergo this type of mechanism? Explain your reasoning. Assume P < 0.8d(delta)o for the strong field case.
2. List all the symmetry operations generated by each of the following elements.
a) C8
b) S3
c) S6

I'm not sure about the dissociative mechanism. To me it seems like I've discussed in the sheet. I'm not sure if this is some sort of trick question.
Symmetry operations:
S3 : S3, S32 ( = C32 ), S33 ( = sigmah ), S34 ...
