Among the following metal carbonyls, the `C-O` bond order is lowest inA. `|Mn(CO)_(6)|^(+)`B. `|Fe(CO)_(5)|`C. `|Cr(CO)_(6)|`D. `|V(CO)_(6)|^(-)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - D An anionic carbonyl complex can delocalise more electron density to antibonding `pi`-orbital (`dpi-ppi` back bonding ) of CO and thus lowers the bond order , |
