Fe(CO)5 2NOFe(CO)2(NO)2

dsp3, trigonal bipyramidal        sp3, tetrahedral

d8 configuration zero                d10configuration, zero unpaired e-

unpaired electron            O. No. of Fe = -2

  O. No. of Fe = 0              O. No of N+= +1

NO is 3e- donating in nature

NONO++e

 N+ donate one e- pair to Fe.

 EAN    Fe(CO)5=26+(5×2)=36

Fe(CO)2(NO)2=26+2+(2×2)+(2×2)=36
