1) A. How does the following modifications affect the rate of asquare planar substitution reaction?
a) changing the trans ligand from H- to Cl-
b) changing the leaving group from Cl- to I-;
C) adding a bulky substituent to a cis ligand,
d) increasing the positive charge on the complex.
B. Organometallic compounds are heavily used in catalysis. Writeout details of the reactions (including reaction cycle) in bothHydrogenation of alkanes with Wilkinson’s catalyst andHydroformulation with cobalt carbonyl catalyst (name the catalystin each case)
