-
We need the number of bridging carbonyl ligands in .
-
First, identify the metal oxidation state:
- is a neutral ligand.
- The complex is neutral.
- Therefore, each is in oxidation state .
-
Count electrons around each manganese atom.
In the usual structure of :
- There is an single bond.
- Each is bonded to five terminal ligands.
-
Electron count for each :
- is group 7, so contributes electrons.
- terminal ligands donate electrons.
- One bond contributes electron to each metal in covalent counting.
Total for each :
-
Thus, each manganese already satisfies the 18-electron rule with five terminal carbonyls and one metal-metal bond. There is no need for any bridging ligand.
-
Therefore, in , all 10 carbonyl ligands are terminal.
Hence, the number of bridging ligands is:
