Question
The CFSE of [CoCl6]3– is 18000 cm–1 the CFSE for [CoCl4]– will be ______.
Options
18000 cm–1
8000 cm–1
2000 cm–1
16000 cm–1
Solution
The CFSE of [CoCl6]3– is 18000 cm–1 the CFSE for [CoCl4]– will be `underline(bb(8000 cm^-1)`.
Explanation:
∆t = `(4/9 ) xx 18000 cm^-1`
= 8000 cm–1

Crystal field splitting by various ligands Metal complexes show different colours due to d-d transitions. The complex absorbs light of specific wavelength to promote the electron from t2g to eg level. The colour of the complex is due to the transmitted light, which is complementary of the colour absorbed. The wave number of light absorbed by different complexes of Cr ion are given below:
