H. Exercises:
2. What is the symmetry of this isomer of Mn(acac)3 ?
Potentially useful viewing commands:
This is one of the Isomers of the tris(acetonylacetonate)manganese(III) molecule. Reference
1. Determine the symmetry operations for the molecule and assign it to a point group.
2. Is this molecule chiral? If so, is this a Λ or a Δ Isomer? If it is not chiral, give an explanation based on symmetry arguments.
3. What is the d electron count for the metal? Do you expect any distortions based on the d electron configuration of the metal?
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
Test for a C3:
