Q. The product obtained in the reaction of Mn2(CO)10 with Br2 is
(A) Mn(CO)5Br
(B) Mn2(CO)8Br2
(C) Mn(CO)4Br2
(D) Mn2(CO)9Br
Ans: Mn(CO)5Br
The process of Bromination or Halogenation of Mn2(CO)10 with the scission of Mn- Mn results in the formation of Manganese pentacarbonyl bromide. Mn2(CO)10 is also known as the Dimanganese dicarbonyl compound.
