The magnetic moment of an octahedral homoleptic Mn ( II ) complex is 5 .9   B . M . . The suitable ligand for this complex is:
Options
- AC N -
- BC O
- CEthylenediamine
- DN C S -
Correct answer
D. N C S -
Step-by-step solution
M n 2 + will have configuration = 3 d 5 4 s 0 μ = 5.93 = n n + 2 or, n = 5 as 35 = 5.93 If has 5 unpaired electron which are not getting paired up. This implies that the ligand paired up, and the ligand is a weak field ligand. Among the given options, weak ligand is N C S -
