Question

Number of metal – metal bond(s) in Mn$_2$(CO)$_{10}$ is ______

Answer 1

1

Answer 2

The complex $Mn_2(CO)_{10}$ is a dimeric metal carbonyl. Its structure consists of two manganese atoms directly linked by a single covalent bond. Each manganese atom is coordinated to five terminal carbonyl ligands. This arrangement leads to the presence of exactly one metal-metal bond.
