"Strength of the ligand can affect the magnetic property of the coordination complex". á)Can you agree with this statement? b)illustrate the statement by taking two complexes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Yes b. i. Tetracyảno nickelate (I1) ion, .[Ni(CN)_4]^3 dot. Here .CN. - is a strong ligand. So electrons in .3 ~d. orbital are forced to pair, resulting in diamagnetism. Figure ii. Hexafiuoro cobaltate (III) ion, .[CoF_6]^2.. Here .F. - is a. weak ligand. So pairing of .3 ~d. electrons will not take place. So unpaired electrons are there and it gives paramagnetic behaviour.
