Low oxidation state of metals in their complexes are common when ligands :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A have good π\pi -accepting character
  • B have good σ\sigma -donor character
  • C are having good π\pi -donating ability
  • D are having poor σ\sigma -donating ability

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Ligands like : CO, are sigma donor and π\pi -acceptor and they make stronger bond with lower oxidation state metal ion, in this case back bonding is more effective
