Zeise's salt, the first isolated organometallic compound, exhibits this geometry also found in a zirconium-containing phosphonium ion that is an exception to the rules of Le Bel and van't Hoff.

The trans effect strongly influences the rate of ligand substitution in these complexes often containing low-spin d8 metal ion centers. Conventionally the highest-energy antibonding d orbital is the x-squared-minus-y-squared orbital, and it can often be conceptualized as a tetragonal distortion of the octahedral geometry. For ten points, identify this geometry often exhibited by rhenium, palladium, and platinum-containing compounds such as cisplatin, which contain four ligands surrounding a central atom.
