The Covalent Bond Classification (CBC) Method is an insightful approach specifically designed for covalent molecules and is particularly applicable to organometallic compounds. The conceptual core of the CBC method is to classify each ligand as a neutral species on the basis of its orbital interactions with the metal. This classification requires considering three fundamental interactions, represented by the symbols L, X, and Z...

Use the Covalent Bond Classification Method to classify these complexes with a [ML/X ZJ formula. With charged species, reduce the formula to its equivalent neutral class. 

Use the Covalent Bond Classification Method to classify these hypothesized complexes with a [ML/X ] formula. With charged species, reduce the formula to its equivalent neutral class. On the basis on the MLX plot for iron in Section 13.7, speculate on the likelihood that the following iron complexes have been prepared. 

The Covalent Bond Classification Method and MLX plots are now introduced in Chapter 13.
