(i) Write the IUPAC name of the complex . (ii) What type of isomerism is exhibited by the complex ? (en = ethane-1, 2-diamine) (iii) Why is paramgnetic but is diamagnetic (At. nos.: )
Solution:
(i) The IUPAC name of is Tetraam minedichlorochromium(III) chloride.(ii) The isomerism exhibited by this complex is the optical isomerism.(iii) The oxidation state of in is +2 . Since chloride is a weak field ligand, it does not cause electron pairing up in opposition to Hund's maximum multiplicity rule. As a result, Ni's valence -orbitals contain two unpaired electrons, giving the complex its paramagnetic properties. On the other hand, carbonyl is a strong field ligand and causes electron partnering up in opposition to Hund's maximisation rule. As a result, there are no unpaired electrons and the complex is hence diamagnetic.
