 These complexes may be homoleptic, that is containing only CO ligands, such as nickel tetracarbonyl (Ni(CO)4), but more commonly metal carbonyls are heteroleptic and contain a mixture of ligands.Mononuclear metal carbonyls contain only one metal atom as the central atom.Except vanadium hexacarbonyl only metals with even order number such as chromium, iron, nickel, and their homologs build neutral mononuclear complexes.
