Which of the following compound/ion is $π$ -bonded organometallic compound(s) as well as follow sidwick EAN rule?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Ferrocene is a $π$ -bonded organometallic compound. For Fe in ferrocene, the EAN is $26 - 2 + 12 = 36$ , which follows the Sidgwick EAN rule (36 for Kr). Zeise's salt has EAN $78 - 2 + 8 = 84$ , not 86. $[Fe (CO)_{5}]^{+}$ has EAN $26 - 1 + 10 = 35$ , not 36. Cis-platin is not a $π$ -bonded organometallic compound.
