JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

In which of the following octahedral complex species the magnitude of \({\Delta _0}\) will be maximum ?

  1. A \([Co(H_2O)_ 6]^{2+}\)
  2. B \([Co(CN)_6 ]^{3-}\)
  3. C \([Co(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}\)
  4. D \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \([Co(CN)_6 ]^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Crystal field splitting depends upon the nature of ligand . The nature of ligand \(\Delta \) decreases as shown below \(C_2O_4^- < H_2O < NH_3 < CN^-\) hence the crystal field splitting will be maximum for \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\)
