Which of the following factor is responsible for the character in metal carbon bond ( ) in carbonyl complexes.
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
The character in the M-C bond of carbonyl complexes arises from back-bonding. This involves the overlap and donation from a filled metal d-orbital (e.g., or ) into a vacant antibonding orbital on the CO ligand, forming a M C bond. This synergic bonding strengthens the M-C bond.
