Question
1. a) What is the meaning of labil and inert complexes? For the following complexes, order
them according to their increasing lability, and explain your reasoning in detail.
- [CFFG]* , [Fe(CO)c]²* , [Cr(OH)6J³* , [Mn(H2O)c]³*
b) Show the molecular orbital energy level diagram for the [Fe(CN)«J+ complex
considering o and a interaction of the orbitals (Symmetry Adapted Orbitals for Oh: s=a1g,
px=tiu, P;=tiu, ptiu, d=eg, d=eg, dxy=t25, dr=t25, dyz-2g).
c) Both [Fe(CN)6]+ and [Fe(CN)k]* might be toxic because of the possibility of
dissociation of the complexes to give cyanide (CN) ion. Decide which one will be more
poisonous by taking into account Fe-C bond strengths in these complexes.
