Which of the following will have maximum stabilization due to crystal field?
Options
- ATi H 2 O 6 3 +
- BCo H 2 O 6 2 +
- CCo CN 6 3 -
- DCu NH 3 4 2 +
Correct answer
C. Co CN 6 3 -
Step-by-step solution
Co H 2 O 6 2 + ;   t 2 g 6 e g 0 ; CFSE = - 0 . 4 × 6 + 0 . 6 × 1 Δ o + 2 P = − 1 . 8 Δ o + 2 P Co CN 6 3 - ;   t 2 g 6 e g 0 ; CFSE = - 0 . 4 × 6 + 0 . 6 × 0 Δ o + 2 P = − 2 .4 Δ o + 2 P Since CN - 1 is a strong field ligand, Δ o of this complex will be higher than that of Co H 2 O 6 3 +
