Question

Ligands are broadly classified into two classes classical and non-classical ligands, depending on their donor and acceptor ability. Classical ligands form classical complexes while non-classical ligands form non-classical complexes. Bonding mechanism in non-classical is called synergic bonding.

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Sc : 3d^1 4s^2, As d-orbitals at Sc^3+ are empty, hence, there is no synergic bonding in [Sc(CO)6]^3+.
