Chemistry Question on coordination compounds
Which of the following will have maximum stabilization due to crystal field?
A
[Ti(H2O)6]3+
B
[Co(H2O)6]2+
C
[Co(CN)6]–3
D
[Cu(NH3)4]2+
Answer
[Co(CN)6]–3
Explanation
Solution
CN– is the strongest ligand among the given complexes CFSE value for the [Co(CN)6]–3 complex will be highest as it has d6 configuration.
Hence, the correct option is (C): [Co(CN)6]–3
