""EAN of Co(CO)4 is 35. It attains stablity by dimerisation or reduction of Co""
Can u explain dimerisation concept in this question?
EAN rule is that, in a number of metal complexes the metal atom tends to surround itself with sufficient ligands that the resulting effective atomic number is numerically equal to the atomic number of the noble-gas element found in the same period in which the metal is present
Here the nearest inert gas is Kypton(36)
Since EAN of Co(CO)4 is 35 , So the metals that cannot attain the EAN of the nearest inert gas in mono nuclear carbons will dimerize Co2(CO)8 in which oxidation state of metal increases by 1 unit.
