Q1 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2018 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

The correct option(s) regarding the complex CoenNH33H2O3+ :-
(en = H2NCH2CH2NH2 ) is (are)

  • Correct answer
    A
    It has two geometrical isomers
  • Correct answer
    B
    It will have three geometrical isomers if bidentate 'en' is replaced by two cyanide ligands
  • C
    It is paramagnetic
  • Correct answer
    D
    It absorbs light at longer wavelength as compared to CoenNH343+

Solution

(i) CoenNH33H2O+3 complex is type of [MAAb3c] have two G.I.
Figure
(B) If (en) is replaced by two cyanide ligand, complex will be type of [Ma3b2c] and have 3 G.I.
Figure
(iii) CoenNH33H2O3+ have d6 configuration (t62g6) on central metal with SFL therefore it is dimagnetic in nature.
(iv) Complex CoenNH33H2O3+ have lesser CFSE (∆O) value than CoenNH343+  therefore complex CoenNH33H2O+ absorbs longer wavelength for d-d transition

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'D'.
