Answer #1

Carbonyl complexes are easily prepared in the labs using CO and metal in the presence of a reducing agent.

Fe + 5CO (at 200 atm and 200C) --> Fe(CO)5 (In sunglight) --> Fe2(CO)9

Another way of producing Carbonyl complexes is by reaction of metal halids with CO

WCl6 + 6CO + 2Et3Al --> W(CO)6
