The sum of bridging carbonyls in W(CO)6 and Mn2(CO)10 is_____.
Show Hint
For determining bridging carbonyls:
• Examine the geometry and bonding of the complex.
• Bridging carbonyls are shared between two metal centers, while terminal carbonyls are bonded to a single metal atom.
Correct Answer: 0
Solution and Explanation
1. Bridging Carbonyls in W(CO)6:
- Tungsten hexacarbonyl (W(CO)6) has an octahedral geometry, and all carbonyl ligands are terminal.
- Number of bridging carbonyls: 0.
2. Bridging Carbonyls in Mn2(CO)10:
- Manganese decacarbonyl (Mn2(CO)10) has a metal-metal bond with all carbonyls being terminal in its structure.
- Number of bridging carbonyls: 0.
3. Total Bridging Carbonyls:
- Sum = 0 + 0 = 0.
