[Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]3- is weakly paramagnetic. Explain. (At. no. Fe = 26) -Chemistry

1 Answer

Answer :

In both the cases, Fe is in oxidation state +3. Outer electronic configuration of Fe+3 is : In the presence of CN–, the 3d electrons pair up leaving only one unpaired electron. The hybridisation involved is d2sp3 forming inner orbital complex which is weakly paramagnetic. In the presence of H2O (a weak ligand), 3d electrons do not pair up. The hybridisation involved is sp3d2 forming an outer orbital complex. As it contains five unpaired electrons so it is strongly paramagnetic. .
