Correct answer: D

  1. Definition of an organometallic compound

    An organometallic compound is one that contains at least one metal–carbon bond where the carbon belongs to an organic ligand such as CO, alkyl, aryl, etc.

  2. Analyze the compound

    The given compound is: Mn2(CO)10Mn_2(CO)_{10}Mn2​(CO)10​

    Here, carbon monoxide (COCOCO) acts as a ligand and binds to manganese through the carbon atom, forming an Mn−CMn-CMn−C bond.

  3. Check the options

    • A: C−OC-OC−O bond
      This bond is present in carbon monoxide itself, but it does not make a compound organometallic.

    • B: Mn−MnMn-MnMn−Mn bond
      A metal-metal bond does not define organometallic character.

    • C: Mn−OMn-OMn−O bond
      In metal carbonyls, bonding occurs through carbon, not oxygen.

    • D: Mn−CMn-CMn−C bond
      This is the defining feature of an organometallic compound.

  4. Conclusion

    Therefore, Mn2(CO)10Mn_2(CO)_{10}Mn2​(CO)10​ is organometallic due to the presence of the Mn−CMn-CMn−C bond.

Correct option: D
