Octahedral Field
- Interaction of d-orbitals with six point charges at
+x, -x, +y, -y, +z and -z axes are not same.
- The orbitals lying along the axes (i.e. x2-y2, z2) will
be destabilized more than the orbitals lying in- between the axes (i.e. xy, xz, yz).
CFT-Octahedral Complexes
For Oh point group x2-y2, z2 orbitals: eg xy, xz, yz orbitals: t2g
- Difference between t2g and eg = Δ0 or 10 Dq.
- Conservation of barycenter from a spherical field to
- ctahedral field indicates t2g set must be stabilized as much
as the eg set is destabilized.
CFSE: Octahedral complex
- Nature of the ligands
- The charge on the metal ion
- Whether the metal is a 3d, 4d, or 5d element

Magnetic Levitation (Suspension) : Property of diamagnetic molecules
Magnetochemistry
Electron spin: An electron has two intrinsic spin states, which are referred as up and down or alpha and beta. Electron orbital motion: A magnetic field is generated due to the electron moving around the nucleus. Nuclear spin: Some nuclei, such as hydrogen, have a net spin, which generates a magnetic field. Mutual interaction also and with external magnetic field Shows effect strong/weak and negligible.

Conditions of orbital angular momentum (µL)
The orbitals must not contain electrons of identical spin during this transformation and the movement of electron These conditions are fulfilled only when one or two orbitals contain partially filled electrons in t2g and NOT in eg
Magnetism
The orbitals should be degenerate (t2g or eg) Interconvertible by rotation eg: t2g orbitals into each other by 90o rotation. Such transformation is not possible with the orbitals of eg. Similar in shape and size
48
e.g. the dxz orbital is transformed into the dyz orbital by a rotation of 90° about the z-axis – during this rotation the electron is orbiting the nucleus The degenerate t2g orbitals (dxy, dxz, dyz) can be interconverted by 90° rotations Octahedral complexes Thus, an electron in a t2g orbital can contribute to orbital angular momentum

49
z x y z x y 90o rot. dxz dyz z x y dyz
90o rot.
50
However the eg orbitals (dz2 and dx2-y2) cannot be interconverted by rotation as they are different shapes Octahedral complexes Thus an electron in an eg orbital can not contribute to orbital angular momentum

But an eg ------> t2g transformation is possible

- Q01. Crystalline AgO is diamagnetic.
Explain.
- AgO
As per formula, oxidation state is +2
Electronic configuration should be Ag: [Kr] 4d10 5s1 Ag(II): [Kr] 4d9
- Mixture of Ag2O and Ag2O3
- Has Ag(I) and Ag(III) configurations
- Both are diamagnetic
Linear Ag(I) (green) and square planar Ag(III) (grey)
- Q02. Work out the hybridization and
geometry for the following complexes using the valence bond approach. (a) Ni(CO)4; (b) [Ni(CN)4]2-; (c) [CoCl4]2-; (d) OsO4; (e) VOCl3; (f) [Pt(NH3)4]2+; (g) [Ag(NH3)2]+; (h) [Pt(PPh3)4]; (i) (Cr2O7)2-
[Ni(CN)4]2-
(c) OsO4 Electronic configuration [Xe] 4f14 5d6 6s2

- Q03. While the most stable chloride of Zr is ZrCl4,
that of Pd is PdCl2. Why?
- The third and high I.E. of the d-block metals
increases with increasing atomic number. Owing to the large Zeff making it more energetically unfavourable to attain oxidation state above +2.
- Further the d-orbitals become more core-like
towards the end of the series and so are less effective in stabilising higher oxidation states.
- Q04. When high pressure is applied, what type of
electronic configuration is favoured for a d5 transition metal complex (Octahedral, weak field ligand)?
Low spin; because it leads to low electron density between the metal and the ligand (i.e., along the bond axis).
d5: HS d5: LS
- Q05. Provide reasons for the fact that a number of
tetrahedral Co(II) complexes are stable, where as the corresponding Ni(II) complexes are not.
The CFSE of d7 tetrahedral complex is greater than that of d8 tetrahedral complex. Similarly, the CFSE of d8 octahedral complex is greater than that of the d7 octahedral complex.
- Q06. Using the crystal field stabilization energy as criterion,
indicate whether you expect the following spinels to be normal or inverse: Fe3O4; Co3O4.
Co3O4 has a similar structure with d7 and d6 configurations for 2+ and 3+ ions
- respectively. Co(III) d6 ion is low spin because (a) high charge (even with
weak ligands like oxo) and (b) maximum gain in CFSE. So the Co3O4 structure is normal spinel. Spinel by definition, the 3+ ion has to go to the Oh site leaving the 2+ ion in Td. Fe3O4 is composed of Fe(II) Td and Fe(III) Oh ions with d6 and d5 configurations
- respectively. Since d5 has no CFSE, it is more advantageous to put it in a Td
environment than in Oh. In other words, by placing d6 ions in Oh environment there is more gain in more CFSE than keeping this in Td environment. Here the Fe3O4 structure is inverse spinel.
- Q07. By showing the details, determine
the CFSE for the following complexes: (a) [FeCl4]2-; (b) W(CO)6.

- Q08. Explain what is meant by the
term “synergic bonding”?
In the synergic bonding the -donation of charge from the ligand to the metal is reinforced by π- back-donation from the metal to the ligand. In a valence bond model it may be represented by M-CO+ and M=C=O. The filled CO to empty M -donation. Filled M d-
- rbital to empty π* - back-donation.
- Q09. The Cr2+ ion in CrF2 is surrounded by six fluoride
ions. Of these, four are at a distance of ~2.00 Å, while the other two are at a distance of 2.43 Å from the metal ion center. Explain this
- bservation.
CrF2: Cr2+ is surrounded by 6 fluoride ions in an Oh environment. Cr2+ is d4 high spin; t2g
3eg 1.
The unsymmetrical distribution of electrons in eg leads to Jahn-Teller Distortion. This observation suggests that the eg electrons in dz2 orbital and dx2-y2 is empty.
