Which of the following will have maximum stabilization due to crystal field?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A [Ti(H2O)6]3+
  • B [Co(H2O)6]2+
  • C [Co(CN)6]3 −-
  • D [Cu(NH3)4]2+

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The given complexes are:

[Ti(H2O)6]3+,[Co(H2O)6]2+,[Co(CN)6]−3,[Cu(NH3)4]2+\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+},\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{-3},\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right]^{2+}

CN−\mathrm{CN}^{-} is the strongest ligand among the given complexes CFSE value for the [Co(CN)6]−3\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{-3} complex will be highest as it has d6d^{6} configuration with a CFSE value of −2.40 Δ0+2P-2.40 \,\Delta_{0}+2 \mathrm{P} , where PP represents pairing energy and Δ0\Delta_{0} represents splitting energy in octahedral field.

The value of Δ0\Delta_{0} is high for cyanide complexes.
