The coordination geometry around the manganese in decacarbonyldimanganese is [JEE Main 2024, 30 Jan (Shift 2)]
✓ Correct answer: c) Octahedral
ExplanationCorrect answer: C — Octahedral Explanation: The compound decacarbonyldimanganese is Each Mn atom is bonded to: 5 CO ligands 1 Mn–Mn bond So, around each Mn: 5 (CO)+1 (Mn–Mn bond)=6 coordination sites A coordination number of 6 corresponds to octahedral geometry.Therefore, the geometry around each manganese atom is octahedral.
