[ V ( CO ] EAN =23+(2 × 6)=35 [ V ( CO ]+ e - arrow[ V ( CO ]- EAN =36..

Q. Which of the following complexes does not follow Sidgwick $E A N$ rule and acts as an oxidising agent ?

$[V (CO]$

$[C r (CO]$

$[N i (CO]$

$[F e (CO]$

$[V (CO] E A N = 23 + (2 \times 6) = 35$
$[V (CO] + e^{-} \to [V (CO]^{-} E A N = 36$
