Select the correct order of C - O bond ...


Select the correct order of C - O bond length in the following molecules
I. `[Mo(CO)_3 (PF_3)_3]` II. `[Mo(CO)_3 (PCl_3)_3]` III. `[Mo(CO)_3(P (Me)_3)_3]`

A

`I gt II gt III`

B

`III gt I gt II`

C

`II gt III gt I`

D

`I lt II lt III`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`C - O` bond length `prop 1/("CO bond order")`
In teh presence of `PF_3` bond oreder of CO will be maximum due to better - acceptro tendency of `PF_3` in comparison of `PCl_3` or `Pme_3`.
