Hi,

is this the correct balance equation for substitution reaction between 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene tricarbonyl molybdenum and triphenylphosphone?

If there is enough space? I would think to substitute only two phosphans.

so it will be (C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)3 + 3Ph3P = (C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)(Ph3P)2 + Ph3P + CO2 ????

i am sorry i am kinda slow in balancing the equation

C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)3 + 3Ph3P = (C6H3Me3)Mo(CO)(Ph3P)2 + Ph3P + CO2 ????
No, check balancing. There is no CO2 and you can erase one Phosphan.

Why repeating the wrong answer.
