Co-Ordination Compounds Question 163

Question: Among the following metal carbonyls, the C-0 bond order is lowest in

Options:

A) [Mn(CO)6]+

B) [Fe(CO)5]

C) [Cr(CO)6]

D) [V(CO)6]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

(1) Mn+=3d54s1. In presence of CO, effective configuration is 3d64s0.

3 lone pairs for back bonding with vacant orbital of C in CO. (2) Fe0=3d64s2 .

In the presence of CO , effective configuration is 3d6 .

4 lone pairs for back bonding with CO. (3) Cr0=3d54s1 .

In the presence of CO, effective configuration is 3d6.

3 lone pairs for back bonding with CO.

(4) V=3d44s2. In the presence of CO effective configuration is 3d6.

3 lone pairs for back bonding with CO. These maximum back bonding in [Fe(CO)5] , therefore CO bond order is lowest
