Q. The reaction of equimolar quantities of Fe(CO)5 and OH– gives a complex species X which on further reaction with MnO2 gives species Y. X and Y, respectively, are
(A) [Fe(CO)5(OH)]– and Fe2(CO)9
(B) [Fe(CO)4]2– and Mn2(CO)10
(C) [HFe(CO)4]– and Fe2O3
(D) [HFe(CO)4]– and Fe3(CO)12
Ans: [HFe(CO)4]- and Fe3(CO)12
