Among the following, metal carbonyls, the C—O bond is strongest :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
As + ve charge on the central metal atom increases, the less readily the metal can donate electron density into the π * orbitals of CO ligand to weaken the C – O bond. Hence order of C – O bond strength is : [Mn(CO)6]+ > [Cr(CO)6] > [V(CO)6]– > [Ti(CO)6]2–.
