Correct answer: 0

  1. We need the number of bridging carbonyl ligands in [Mn2(CO)10][Mn_2(CO)_{10}][Mn2​(CO)10​].

  2. First, identify the metal oxidation state:

    • COCOCO is a neutral ligand.
    • The complex is neutral.
    • Therefore, each MnMnMn is in oxidation state 000.
  3. Count electrons around each manganese atom.

    In the usual structure of [Mn2(CO)10][Mn_2(CO)_{10}][Mn2​(CO)10​]:

    • There is an Mn−MnMn-MnMn−Mn single bond.
    • Each MnMnMn is bonded to five terminal COCOCO ligands.
  4. Electron count for each MnMnMn:

    • MnMnMn is group 7, so Mn0Mn^0Mn0 contributes 777 electrons.
    • 555 terminal COCOCO ligands donate 5×2=105 \times 2 = 105×2=10 electrons.
    • One Mn−MnMn-MnMn−Mn bond contributes 111 electron to each metal in covalent counting.

    Total for each MnMnMn: 7+10+1=187 + 10 + 1 = 187+10+1=18

  5. 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 COCOCO ligand.

  6. Therefore, in [Mn2(CO)10][Mn_2(CO)_{10}][Mn2​(CO)10​], all 10 carbonyl ligands are terminal.

Hence, the number of bridging COCOCO ligands is: 0\boxed{0}0​
