Transition metal complex with highest value of crystal field splitting Δ 0 will be
Options
- AMo H 2 O 6 3 +
- BCr H 2 O 6 3 +
- COs H 2 O 6 3 +
- DFe H 2 O 6 3 +
Correct answer
C. Os H 2 O 6 3 +
Step-by-step solution
H 2 O is a weak field ligand. Crystal field stabilisation energy is maximum for d 3 and d 8 cases with weak field ligands among the 3d-series elements.But CFSE increases from 3d to 5d series elements due to the increase in nuclear charge. Hence, Os H 2 O 6 3 + complex case, the CFSE is maximum.
