Which of the following carbonyls will have the strongest C O bond?
- AMn(CO)6+
- BCr(CO)6
- CV(CO)6
- DFe(CO)5
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
As + ve charge on the central metal atom increases, the less readily the metal can donate electron density into the * orbitals of CO ligand to weaken the C – O bond. Hence, the C – O bond would be strongest in Mn(CO)6+.
