Question

Consider the complexes I Co2CO8 II Mn2CO10. The sum of metal-metal bonds in (I) and (II) is equal to ‘X’. The sum of bridged carbonyl groups in (I) and (II) is ‘Y’. Product of ‘X’ and' Y' is equal to

Moderate
Solution

Both (I) and (II) have one metal-metal bond each, ‘X’=2;

(I) has two bridged carbonyls and (II) has none, ‘   Y’=2;

Product of ‘X’ and ‘Y’ is equal to four;
