Question
Mo(CO)(PHs), is an octahedral molecule that exists in two isomeric forms; the facial or fac isomer where the CO's are in one trigonal face of the octahedron and the PHs's are in the opposite trigonal face, and the meridal or mer isomer, where the CO's occupy three of the four sites in the xy plane, and the PHj's occupy the fourth site in the xy plane and the two axial positions along the z axis. mer Fac c3ur 3 HP. Co ug Show that it is possible to distinguish the two isomers on the basis of their sC and sp NMRExplanation / Answer
Yes it can be shown by both C-NMR and P-NMR .
because of having C=O group at different environment.
