How do the CO stretching frequencies of a bridging carbonly ligand depend on the number of metal centers bridged by the CO ligand?
CO is a L-type ligand. It bonds to the metal center via two ways.
First, it donates the electron pair on C to the metal (sigma bonding)
Second, now since the metal has become electron rich it tries to balance its d-orbital by donating electeon density to the * orbital of C. This is known as back-bonding.
The CO can bridge 2,3 or 4 metal atoms at a time. Thus, the more the metal centers the more will be the back bonding. Due to this the bond order of C-O will decrease resulting in a decrease in stretching frequency!

In some cases CO can act as a bridging ligand between main-group and transition-metal atoms. When it forms a bridge between Al and W in the compound having the formula (C6H5)3Al- [bridging CO]- W(CO)2(C5H5), is the order of atoms in the bridge Al-CO-W or Al-OC-W? Briefly explain your choice.
