Which of the following complex can act as an oxidising agent as well as reducing agent?

Options

A. `Mn(CO)_(5)`
B. `Ti(CO)_(6)`
C. `Mn(CO)_(6)`
D. None of these

Answer

D

Explanation

`Ti(CO)_(6)EAN` of `Ti =22 - 0 + 6 xx 2 =34`
Hence can only act as oxidising agent
(b) `Mn(CO)_(5),EAN of Mn = 25 - 0 + 5 xx 2 = 35`
Hence can olny act as oxidising agent
(c ) `Mn(CO)_(6)` , EAN of `Mn = 25 - 0 + 6 xx 2 = 37`
Hence can only act as reducing agent .
