Question

Reaction of IrCl3(tht)3 (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) with allyllithium (LiC3H5) in 1:3
molar ratio gave a neutral organometallic compound A which does not have Cl or
tht as ligands. Compound A was found to undergo addition reactions further with
(a) 1 mole of PPh3 and (b) 2 moles of PMe3 to give compounds B and C
respectively. Compounds A, B and C obey the 18 electron rule. Draw the
structures of compounds A-C clearly indicating mode of bonding of ligands
involved.
