Question

Explain the stereochemistry of the following: (i) [Ag(CN)2) (ii) Rh(CO)-4
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Stereochemistry [Ag(CN)2] :-

Silver cyanide [Ag(CN)2] is the chemical compound with the formula AgCN. It is a white solid that precipitated upon treatment of solutions containing Ag+

with cyanide, which is used in some schemes to recover silver from solution. Silver cyanide is used in silver-plating.

Stereochemistry [Rh(CO)-4] :-

Tetrarhodium dodecacarbonyl [Rh(CO)-4] is the chemical compound with the formula Rh4(CO)12. This dark-red crystalline solid is the smallest stable binary rhodium carbonyl. It is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis.
