Draw the structures of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 and [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2.
Explain the difference between the chlorides in [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 and
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2. Is the measured absorption spectrum for these two
compounds consistent with the ligand field strength of NH3 and Cl-?
Explain.
In K2[PtCl6], the octahedral crystal field splitting is
relatively large and the complex is low spin. Draw the d-orbital
diagram, including the electrons, for K2[PtCl6].
