Low oxidation states such as zero are stabilised by ligands with what property?
AA large negative charge
BHigh electronegativity
CStrong pi-donor character
Dpi-acceptor character
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. pi-acceptor character
Ligands like CO accept electron density back from the metal through pi bonding in addition to sigma donation, stabilising low states.
