In the complex acetylbromidodicarbonylbis(triethylphosphine)iron(II), the number of Fe-C bond(s) is
Answer: 3
Solution
The complex is [Fe(CH₃CO)Br(CO)₂{P(C₂H₅)₃}₂].
Fe-C bonds are formed with:
Total Fe-C bonds = 3.
Fe-C bonds are formed with:
- The acetyl ligand (CH₃CO⁻): 1 Fe-C bond
- Two carbonyl ligands (CO): 2 Fe-C bonds
Total Fe-C bonds = 3.
