[Co(NH3)6]3+
[CoCl(NH3)5]2+
[Co(CN)6]3–
[Co(NH3)5(H2O)]3+
The spin-only magnetic moment value of the complex that absorbs light with shortest wavelength is _______ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Consider the following metal complexes:
[Co(NH3)6]3+
[CoCl(NH3)5]2+
[Co(CN)6]3–
[Co(NH3)5(H2O)]3+
The spin-only magnetic moment value of the complex that absorbs light with shortest wavelength is _______ B.M. (Nearest integer)
Correct Answer: 0
Solution and Explanation
In all complexes, Co is present in the +3 oxidation state and all complexes are low spin or inner orbital complex.
The stronger the ligand, the higher the crystal field splitting.
So, the order of crystal field splitting is
[Co(CN)6]3– > [Co(NH3)6]3+> [Co(NH3)5(H2O)]3+ > [CoCl(NH3)5]2+.
The shortest wavelength is shown by the complex having maximum crystal field splitting.
spin magnetic moment=\(\sqrt{0(0+2)}\)=0 BM

Concepts Used:
Coordination Compounds
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
Coordination entity:
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
Ligands:
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
