Give examples of a metal complex having trigonal prismatic structure

kiran

Hi

Some examples of trigonal prismatic structured compounds are

1) Tris(Butadiene) Molybdenum

2) Tris(butadiene)tungsten

Due to appreciable back-bonding the bond lengths in the front bonds are shorter than the bonds in the back.

Hence their structure is trigonal prismatic.

Cheers!
