Does not dimerize to attain 18 VE configuration

Does not dimerize to attain 18 VE configuration




the carbonyls of MN and CO form metal-metal bonded dimeric species to attain an 18 valence electron count, then why the 17e- complex V(CO)6 (V = 5 and 6CO = 12 making a total of 17 VE does not dimerize to attain  18 VE configuration?
