Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryCoordination Compounds
In the crystal field of the complex [ Fe ( Cl )( CN )₄ ( O ₂ ) ]⁴⁻ the electronic configuration of metal is found to be t _ 2 ~g ^6, e _ g ^0 then which of the following is true about this complex ion :
Options
- AIt is a paramagnetic complex
- BO - O bond length will be less than found in O ₂ molecule
- CIts IUPAC name will be chlorotetracyanosuperoxidoferrate (II) ion
- DIt is a diamagnetic complex
Correct answer
C. Its IUPAC name will be chlorotetracyanosuperoxidoferrate (II) ion
Step-by-step solution
The given complex is actually hence Fe ( II ) is t _ 2 ~g ^6, e _ g ^0 due to effect of strong ligands but it is paramagnetic due to O ₂ ⁻¹ ligand.
