(i) What type of isomerism is shown by the complex [ Co ( NH 3 ) 6 ] [ Cr ( CN ) 6 ] ?
(ii) Why a solution of[ Ni ( H 2 O ) 6 ] 2 + is green while a solution of [ Ni ( CN ) 4 ] 2 − is colourless ? (At. no. of Ni = 28 ).
(iii) Write the IUPAC name of the following complex:[ Co ( NH 3 ) 5 ( CO 3 ) ] Cl .
(ii) Why a solution of
(iii) Write the IUPAC name of the following complex:
Solution:
(i) Complex [ Co ( NH 3 ) 6 ] [ Cr ( CN ) 6 ] shows coordination isomerism. This type of isomerism arises from the interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in the complex.
(ii) In[ Ni ( H 2 O ) 6 ] 2 + , H 2 O is a weak field ligand. So there are unpaired electrons in Ni 2 + . In this complex, the d electrons from the lower energy level can be excited to the higher energy level. The possibility of d - d electrons is present. Therefore, Ni ( H 2 O 6 ) ] 2 + is coloured. In [ Ni ( CN ) 4 ] 2 − , the electrons are all paired as CN − is a strong ligand. So, d − d transition is not possible in [ Ni ( CN ) 4 ] 2 − . Hence, it is colourless.
(iii) The IUPAC name of[ Co ( NH 3 ) 5 ( CO 3 ) ] Cl is Pentaamminecarbonatocobalt (III) chloride.
