Among the following metal carbonyls, the C–O bond order is lowest in :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
As formal negative charge increases on the complex the tendency of π back bonding between metal ion and CO increases and thus the bond order of CO decreases. Hence the CO bond order is lowest in [V(CO) 6 ]¯.
