Metal carbonyl

Iron pentacarbonylAn iron atom with five CO ligands

The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of CO is a σ MO

Energy level scheme of the σ and π orbitals of carbon monoxide

Metal carbonyls are coordination complexes of transition metals with carbon monoxide ligands. Metal carbonyls are useful in organic synthesis and as catalysts or catalyst precursors in homogeneous catalysis, such as hydroformylation and Reppe chemistry. In the Mond process, nickel carbonyl is used to produce pure nickel. In organometallic chemistry, metal carbonyls serve as precursors for the preparation of other organometalic complexes.
