c)
Tutorial 4
Sketch the representations of the 3d orbitals to show their orientations in space.
Explain why the day orbital is lower in energy than the dx2-y2 orbital in an octahedral complex.
Sketch the possible d-electron configurations for a d6 ion in octahedral crystal field, and give
an example of a complex with this arrangement.
2. For which of the following pairs would you expect to be larger and why?
a) [Cr(H₂O)]²+ and [Cr(H₂O)]³+
[CrF6] and [Cr(NH3)6]³+
c) [Fe(CN)6] and [Fe(CN)6]³-

b)
d)
f)
[Ni(H₂O)]²+ and [Ni(en)3]²+
[Ni(en)3]2+ and [Ni(en)3]²+
3. Experimental evidence indicates that the complex K4[Fe(CN)6] has no unpaired electrons, while
[Fe(H₂O)6]Cl2 has four unpaired electrons.
(i) For both complexes give the coordination geometry, the oxidation state and the number of d
electrons.
(ii) Using crystal field energy diagrams, explain the experimental findings.
4. Experimental evidence indicates that the complex [PdCl4] ²- has no unpaired electrons, while
[NiC14]²- has two unpaired electrons.
(i) Describe two possible geometries for a 4-coordinate complex.
(ii) Give the oxidation state and number of d electrons for the two complexes
(iii) Using crystal field energy diagrams, to explain the experimental findings.
