Out of given 3 complex
(I) [Mn(CO)6]+ (II) [Cr (CO)6] (III) [V(CO)6]-
(A) (III)has max. C-O length
(B) (II)has lowest O-N of metal
(C) (I)has min. no. of electrons
(D) (III)has min. pia-character in metal -carbon bond
The correct option is A
Reason:
Due to backbonding the CO bond order is affected, as we move from left to right across the periodic table the energy difference between d-π and π* orbitals increases and back bonding becomes difficult.
Hence C-O bond distance is maximum in (III) then (II) and then (I)
