Which of the following complex is octahedral, diamagnetic and the most stable?
Solution
The coordination compound contains a cobalt() ion, which has a electronic configuration. The cyanide ligands in this complex are indeed strong field ligands, which means they will cause a large splitting of the orbitals. So here cobalt is in state having configuration and also cyanide ligand which is a strong field ligand so, it is most stable and will have octahedral shape. The given compounds have the following nature:
(1) – Paramagnetic
(2) – Paramagnetic
(3) – Diamagnetic
(4) – Paramagnetic
