Which of the following metal carbonyls is synthesized by the drect interaction of finely divided metal with CO ?A. `Fe_(3)(CO)_(12)`B. `Fe_(2)(CO)_(9)`C. `Fe(CO)_(5)`D. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Pentacarbonyliron (0), `Fe(CO)_(5)` , is a yellow toxic liquid, which is used for making magnets and iron films. It can be prepared by heating finely divided Fe under CO. `Fe(CO)_(5)` reacts photochemically to give the yellow dimer `Fe_(2)(CO)_(9)` . When heated it forms the black solid, `Fe_(3)(CO)_(12)`.
