Briefly explain why each cyano complex for Cr3+, Fe2+, and Co3+ has a larger value for Do than the corresponding (CH3)3SiC≡C- complex.
Added by Mar B.
Step 1
This means that the metal-ligand bond in the cyano complex is stronger and more stable, leading to a larger value for Do. Show more…

Explain why many cyano complexes of divalent transitionmetal ions are yellow, whereas many aqua complexes of these ions are blue or green.
Explain why many cyano complexes of divalent transition-metal ions are yellow, whereas many aqua complexes of these ions are blue or green.
Explain, using orbital diagrams (drawn or described) why you might observe different magnetic behavior from octahedral cobalt(III) complexes with low field ligand than with high field ligands. Why would the same analysis not apply to octahedral iron(III) complexes?
