The correct statement(s) regarding the binary transition metal carbonyl compounds is (are) (Atomic numbers:)
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
B, C
Solution:
Complexes have 18- electrons in their valence shell
Carbonyl complexes are predominantly low spin complexes due to strong ligand field
As electron density increases on metals (with lowering oxidation state on metals), the extent of synergic bonding increases. Hence M - C bond strength increases
While positive charge on metals increases and the extent of synergic bond decreases and hence C - O bond becomes stronger.
