Question 14 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)
The coordination geometry around the manganese in decacarbonyldimanganese( 0 )
(1) Octahedral
(2) Trigonal bipyramidal
(3) Square pyramidal
(4) Square planar
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
$\mathrm{Mn}{2}(\mathrm{CO}){10}$
$\mathrm{CO}-\left.\mathrm{Mn}\right|{\mathrm{CO}} ^{\mathrm{O}} /\left.\right|{\mathrm{CO}} ^{\mathrm{CO}}-\mathrm{CO}$ $\mathrm{CO}$
Octahedral around Mn
