Paper: CSIR NET December 2011 · Subject: Inorganic Chemistry · Chapter: Organometallic Compounds · Topic: Cluster Compounds Wade Rules · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

Reaction of $\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{5}$ with $\mathrm{OH}$ leads to complex A which on oxidation with $\mathrm{MnO}_{2}$ gives B. Compounds A and B respectively are
(a)$[\mathrm{HFe}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}]^{-}$ and $\mathrm{Fe}_{3}(\mathrm{CO})_{12}$
(b)$[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{5}(\mathrm{OH})]^{-}$ and $\mathrm{Fe}_{2}(\mathrm{CO})_{10}$
(c)$[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}]^{-2}$ and $\mathrm{Mn}_{2}(\mathrm{CO})_{10}$
(d)$[\mathrm{HFe}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}]^{-}$, and $\mathrm{Fe}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{3}$
