Question:

What can be inferred from the magnetic moment values of the following complex species?

Example Magnetic Moment (BM)

K4[Mn(CN)6] 2.2

[Fe(H2O)6]2+ 5.3

K2[MnCl4] 5.9

Answer:

(i) K4[Mn(CN)6]

For in transition metals, the magnetic moment is calculated from the spin-only formula. Therefore,

We can see from the above calculation that the given value is closest to n = 1. Also, in this complex, Mn is in the +2 oxidation state. This means that Mn has 5 electrons in the d-orbital.

Hence, we can say that CN - is a strong field ligand that causes the pairing of electrons.

 

(ii) [Fe(H2O)6]2+

We can see from the above calculation that the given value is closest to n = 4. Also, in this complex, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state. This means that Fe has 6 electrons in the d-orbital.

Hence, we can say that H2O is a weak field ligand and does not cause the pairing of electrons.

(iii) K2[MnCl4]

We can see from the above calculation that the given value is closest to n = 5. Also, in this complex, Mn is in the +2 oxidation state. This means that Mn has 5 electrons in the d-orbital.

Hence, we can say that Cl - is a weak field ligand and does not cause the pairing of electrons.
