Question

Which of the following organometallic compounds is $\sigma$ - and $\pi$ - bonded?

• A. $\left[Fe\right({\eta }^5-C_5{H}_5{)}_2]$
• B. $\left[PtC{l}_3\right({\eta }^2-C_2{H}_4\left)\right]$
• C. $\left[Co\right(CO{)}_{5}N{H}_3{]}^{2+}$
• D. $Al(C{H}_3{)}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\left[Co\right(CO{)}_{5}N{H}_3{]}^{2+}$

Metal Carbonyls are $\sigma$ as well as $\pi$ - bonded.
