Number of bridging CO ligands in

[Mn_{2} (CO)_{10}]

is ____

Answer: 0

Solution

The complex

[Mn_{2} (CO)_{10}]

has a structure where each manganese atom is bonded to five terminal CO ligands. There is a Mn-Mn single bond connecting the two metal centers, and NO bridging CO ligands are present. All ten CO ligands are terminal. Therefore, the number of bridging CO ligands is 0.
