    This document provides instructions for an organometallic chemistry assignment involving analyzing the electron count and formal oxidation state of central metal atoms in various complexes, and determining whether each complex is stable or how it may decompose. Students are asked to analyze 6 complexes: 1) a tin complex, 2) a square planar platinum complex, 3) a rhodium complex with phosphine ligands, 4) a magnesium complex with a phenyl ligand, 5) a zinc complex, and 6) a tetrahedral zinc complex with dimethylamine ligands.

    Assignment 3

    Give electron count and formal oxidation for the central metal atom in the following
    complexes, and try to draw conclusions about the stability of the complex. If you
    think it is not stable, suggest how it might decompose or rearrange.
