MLX Plots – Taken from http:// www.columbia.edu /cu/chemistry/groups/ parkin / mlxz.htm. Sc – Early transition m etal Almost always in highest valence state (3) Not very often 18 electron: atom only has 3 valence electrons, runs out of space to coordinate ligands!!.

Group 6 – “Mid” transition metals Usually 18 electron octahedral (group 6-8 most likely to obey 18e rule) Most common valence state increases down the triad MLX Plots – Taken from http://www.columbia.edu/cu/chemistry/groups/parkin/mlxz.htm
Group 10 – “late” transition metals Usually 16 electron sq planar d8 (dx2-y2 strongly antibonding) Accessible valence states increase down the triad MLX Plots – Taken from http://www.columbia.edu/cu/chemistry/groups/parkin/mlxz.htm
