The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the ligands from the given list that are non-classical ligands and can act as both π donors and π acceptors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Non-Classical Ligands**: - Non-classical ligands are those that can donate electron density through π bonds and can also accept electron density into their empty π* (pi star) orbitals. - For a ligand to be classified as a non-classical ligand, it must have an empty π* orbital that can accept electrons. 2. **Analyzing Each Ligand**: - **CO (Carbon Monoxide)**: - CO has a lone pair on carbon which allows it to act as a π donor. - It also has a π* orbital that can accept electrons, making it a non-classical ligand. - **PH₃ (Phosphine)**: - PH₃ does not have a π* orbital; it primarily acts as a σ donor. - Therefore, it cannot be classified as a non-classical ligand. - **PF₃ (Phosphorus Trifluoride)**: - PF₃ has a lone pair on phosphorus which allows it to act as a π donor. - It also has empty π* orbitals that can accept electrons, qualifying it as a non-classical ligand. - **C₃H₅⁻ (Propyl anion)**: - C₃H₅⁻ does not have a π* orbital and primarily acts as a σ donor. - Hence, it is not a non-classical ligand. - **C₅H₅⁻ (Cyclopentadienyl anion)**: - C₅H₅⁻ has delocalized π electrons but does not have empty π* orbitals available for accepting electrons. - Thus, it cannot be classified as a non-classical ligand. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the ligands, we find that the ligands that are non-classical and can act as both π donors and π acceptors are: - CO and PF₃. - Therefore, the total number of ligands that meet the criteria is **2**. ### Final Answer: The number of ligands which are non-classical ligands and π donors as well as π acceptors is **2** (CO and PF₃). ---
