1. (10 pts) The term migratory insertion is often used to describe the general process of a neutral metal bound ligand reacting with a cisoidal anionic ligand to produce a new coupled anionic ligand. For example, the reaction of 3a,b(mono) to produce 4a,b. There are separate, more specific descriptions for this general process called migration and insertion. An insertion specifically refers to the movement and insertion of the neutral ligand into the metal-anionic ligand bond. Sketch out the two structures formed from a migration and an insertion for the following complex.
