Potentially useful viewing commands:
This Copper(II) complex is one more example of a capped tris chelate that yields a particularly beautiful structure. More Info/Reference
1. Determine the symmetry operations for the molecule and assign it to a point group.
2. Is this ion chiral? If so, is this a &Lambda or a &Delta Isomer? If it is not chiral, give an explanation based on symmetry arguments.
Move the molecule with your mouse to look for various elements of symmetry
The following buttons might help you determine if you have C3 or C2 symmetry
