Identify from the following a coordinate complex containing neutral ligand in it.

Options

  1. APentacarbonyliron(0)
  2. BHexacyanoferrate(II)ion
  3. CTrioxalatocobaltate(III)ion
  4. DSodiumhexanitrocobaltate(III)

Correct answer

A. Pentacarbonyliron(0)

Step-by-step solution

Pentacarbonyliron(0) is [Fe(CO)5][Fe(CO)_5]. The ligand is carbonyl (CO),whichisaneutralmolecule.<br><br>Hexacyanoferrate(II)ionis), which is a neutral molecule.<br><br>Hexacyanoferrate(II) ion is[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}.Theligandiscyanide(CN−. The ligand is cyanide (CN^-), which is anionic.

Trioxalatocobaltate(III) ion is [Co(C2O4)3]3−[Co(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}. The ligand is oxalate (C_2O_4^{2-}),whichisanionic.<br><br>Sodiumhexanitrocobaltate(III)is), which is anionic.<br><br>Sodium hexanitrocobaltate(III) isNa_3[Co(NO_2)_6].Theligandisnitro(NO2−. The ligand is nitro (NO_2^-), which is anionic.

Thus, pentacarbonyliron(0) contains a neutral ligand.

Answer: Pentacarbonyliron(0)
