A) \[\text{Mn(CO)}_{\text{6}}^{\text{+}}\]
B) \[\text{Cr(CO)}_{\text{6}}^{{}}\]
C) \[\text{V(CO)}_{\text{6}}^{-}\]
D) \[\text{Fe(CO)}_{5}^{{}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] As positive charge on the central metal atom increases, the less readily the metal can donate electron density into the anti bonding n-orbitals of CO ligand to weaken 'the CO bond. Hence, the CO bond would be strongest in \[Mn(CO)_{6}^{+}.\]
