Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

18 Electron Rule: Application and Problems The rule states that thermodynamically stable transition metal organometalliccompounds are formed when the sum of the metal d electrons and the electrons conventionally considered as being supplied by the surrounding ligands equals 18. In general, the conditions favoring adherence to the 18 electron rule are, an electron rich metal (one that is in a low oxidation state) and ligands that are good π‐acceptors The hapto symbol, η,with a numerical superscript, provides a topological description by indicating the connectivity between the ligand and the central atom. For example, if all the five carbon atoms of a cyclopentadienyl moiety are equidistant from a metal atom, we term it as η5‐cyclopentadienyl Examples: η1‐R, η1‐Ar, η2‐C2R4, η1‐allyl, η3‐allyl, η4‐Cb, η5‐Cp, η6‐C6H6, η8‐C8H8, η2‐C60, η5‐ R5C60. The symbolμindicates bridging; normally we have μ1 and rarely μ3bridging Examples: μ2‐CO, μ3‐CO, μ2‐CH3, μ2‐H, μ2‐Cl, μ3‐Cl, μ2‐OR, μ2‐PR2, μ2‐NR2 Neutral atom method: Metal is taken as in zero oxidation state for counting purpose Oxidation state method: We first arrive at the oxidation state of the metal by considering the number of anionic ligandspresent and overall charge of the complex
