Coordination Compounds - Result Question 44

####47. Which of these statements about [Co(CN)6]3 is true?

[2015]

(a) [Co(CN)6]3 has four unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.

(b) [Co(CN)6]3 has four unpaired electrons and will be in a high spin configuration. (c) [Co(CN)6]3 has no unpaired electrons and will be in a high-spin configuration.

(d) [Co(CN)6]3 has no unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) In[Co(CN)6]3, O.N. of Co is +3

Co+3=3d64s0

CNis a strong field ligand

Pairing of electrons occurs so in this complex no unpaired electron is present and it is low spin complex.

(b) Due to d5 configuration CFSE is zero.

(b) cis-platin

(d) [Cu(NH3)4]2+ hybridisation dsp2

Cu+23d9 has one unpaired e

So, magnetic moment

μ=n(n+2)=1(1+2)=3=1.73
