Transition Metal Bonding to Alkenes Zeises Salt

TRANSITION METAL BONDING TO ALKENES ZEISE S SALT 

Zeise s salt, KPtCU IL ), exemplifies transition metal bonding to unsaturated hydrocarbons. The orbital interaction diagram for the T-shaped metal fragment PtClj and 

The energies of the p orbitals are not very row dependent. It was recommended above that these be placed at a + 1.5 / . The nonbonded dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals will 

Lines c and d depict the corresponding changes with successive replacements of CL by NH3. In this case, the downward slope of the fragment orbitals is due to increasing
