An example of a sigma bonded organometallic compound is
Grignard’s reagent.
ferrocene.
cobaltocene.
ruthenocene.
To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the given options is a sigma bonded organometallic compound.Organometallic compounds are characterized by the presence of a metal-carbon bond. These bonds can be either sigma () or pi () bonds.Let's analyze each option:• Grignard's reagent:Grignard's reagents are organometallic compounds with the general formula RMgX, where R is an alkyl or aryl group and X is a halogen.The bond between the carbon (R) and the magnesium (Mg) is a sigma () bond.• Ferrocene, Cobaltocene, Ruthenocene:These compounds are examples of metallocenes, which are organometallic compounds consisting of a metal sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl anions.The bonding in metallocenes involves delocalized pi () bonds between the metal and the cyclopentadienyl rings.Therefore, the only option that features a sigma () bond is Grignard's reagent.Thus, the correct answer is Option 1: Grignard's reagent.
