(en = H2NCH2CH2NH2 ) is (are)

  1. A It has two geometrical isomers
  2. B It will have three geometrical isomers if bidentate 'en' is replaced by two cyanide ligands
  3. C It is paramagnetic
  4. D It absorbs light at longer wavelength as compared to CoenNH343+
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) It has two geometrical isomers

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) CoenNH33H2O+3 complex is type of [MAAb3c] have two G.I.

(B) If (en) is replaced by two cyanide ligand, complex will be type of [Ma3b2c] and have 3 G.I.

(iii) \(\left[ Co ( en )\left( NH _3\right)_3\left( H _2 O \right)\right]^{3+}\) have \(d^6\) configuration \(\left(t_{62 g}^6\right)\) on central metal with SFL therefore it is dimagnetic in nature.
(iv) Complex CoenNH33H2O3+ have lesser CFSE (O) value than CoenNH343+ therefore complex CoenNH33H2O+ absorbs longer wavelength for d-d transition
