Among the following metal carbonyls, the C-O bond order is lowest in

Answer»

`[Mn(CO)_(6)]^(+)`
`[Fe(CO)_(5)]`
`[Cr(CO)_(6)]`
`[V(CO)_(6)]^(-)`

Solution :An anionic carbonyl complex can delocalise more electron density to antibonding `PI`-orbital (`d pi p pi` back bonding) of CO and THUS lowers the BOND order.
