Question

Consider this reaction mechanism:

Step 1: Mo(CO)6- Mo(CO) + CÓ
Step 2: Mo(CO)3 + P(CH3)3- Mo(CO) P(CH3)3
What is the balanced equation for the overall reaction?
0 2M0(CO), + P(CH3)3 -> MOCO)5P(CH3)3
0 Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3)3 → Mo(CO) P(CH3)3
•0 Mo(CO). + P(CH3)3 → Mo(CO)P(CH3)3 + co

Answer 1

the very last answer choice// the third one.

Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3)3 → Mo(CO)5P(CH3)3 + CO
