Based on the wavelength of maximum absorption of the cobalt complexes, arrange the following ligands in a spectrochemical series from weakest-field to strongest-field ligand. 
(a) Cl- < NCS- < H2O < NH3 
(b) Cl- < NCS- < H2O < NH3 
(c) H2O < Cl- < NH3 < NCS-
(d) Cl- < H2O < NCS- < NH3

Understand the concept of the spectrochemical series, which ranks ligands based on their ability to split the d-orbitals of a metal ion.
Recall that ligands causing a smaller splitting (weak-field ligands) result in longer wavelengths of maximum absorption, while those causing larger splitting (strong-field ligands) result in shorter wavelengths.
Identify the typical order of ligands in the spectrochemical series: Cl^- < H2O < NCS^- < NH3.
Compare the given options with the typical order to determine which one matches the weakest to strongest field ligands.
Select the option that correctly arranges the ligands from weakest-field to strongest-field based on the spectrochemical series.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Spectrochemical Series

The spectrochemical series is a ranking of ligands based on their ability to split the d-orbitals of transition metal complexes. Ligands that produce a larger splitting of the d-orbitals are considered strong-field ligands, while those that cause less splitting are weak-field ligands. This series helps predict the color and magnetic properties of the complexes formed with different ligands.

Crystal Field Theory

Crystal Field Theory (CFT) explains the electronic structure of transition metal complexes by considering the interaction between the metal ion and surrounding ligands. According to CFT, the presence of ligands causes the degenerate d-orbitals to split into different energy levels, influencing the absorption of light and the resulting color of the complex. Understanding CFT is essential for analyzing how ligands affect the properties of metal complexes.

The study of ligand-metal interactions helped to form Ligand Field Theory which combines CFT with MO Theory.

Ligand Field Strength

Ligand field strength refers to the ability of a ligand to influence the energy levels of the d-orbitals in a transition metal complex. Strong-field ligands, such as NH3 and CN-, cause a greater splitting of the d-orbitals compared to weak-field ligands like Cl-. This concept is crucial for determining the arrangement of ligands in the spectrochemical series and predicting the behavior of the complexes.

교과서 질문

The amount of paramagnetism for a first-series transition metal complex is related approximately to its spin-only magnetic moment. The spin-only value of the magnetic moment in units of Bohr magnetons (BM) is given by sqrt(n(n + 2)), where n is the number of unpaired electrons. Calculate the spin-only value of the magnetic moment for the 2+ ions of the first-series transition metals (except Sc) in octahedral complexes with (a) weak-field ligands and (b) strong-field ligands. For which electron configurations can the magnetic moment distinguish between high-spin and low-spin electron configurations?
