the red coloured Wilkinson's catalyst, [...

the red coloured Wilkinson's catalyst, `[RhCl(PPh_(3))_(3)]` is a homogenous catalyst used hydrogenation of alkenes. Which of the following is/are correct about is?

A

it is diamagnetic complex.

B

its IUPAC name is chloridotris (phenylphoshine) rhodium(I).

C

its coordination geometry about Rh is square planar.

D

it has `4sp^(3)` hybridized atoms.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
`Rh^(+1)` is `4d^(8)` for `4d//5d` metal most of te ligands act as strong field lagands. Electron pairing occurs,diamagnetic complex. `dsp^(2)` hybridization,square planar geometry. Three phosphorous atoms are `sp^(3)` hybridised.
