1. Determine the effective atomic number (EAN) of the metal in each of the
following coordination compounds or complex ions. Which of these species
follows the EAN rule?

EAN= número atómico del ion central de metal –número de oxidación del ion
central de metal + 2 X numero de coordinacion del ion central de metal.

(a) [Cu(CN)6]4- ZCu=29; número de oxidación del Cobre= +2

EAN= 29-2+(2x6)= 39 electrones

(b) Mo(CO)6  ZMo= 42; número de oxidación del Mo= 0

EAN= 42+(2x6)= 54 electrones [Xe]

(c) [Fe(C2O4)3]3-  ZFe= 26; número de oxidación del Fe= +3

EAN=26-3+(2x6)=35 electrones

2. Suppose an octahedral field is tetragonally elonged along the z axis. That is,
assume that the z-axis ligands move farther away while the x and y-axis ligands
get closer to the metal. Draw a well-labeled diagram showing the effect on the
energy of the d orbitals, starting from their positions in an octahedral field.
Briefly rationalize the change in the energy of each orbital. Finally, eliminate the
ligands in the z axis, and draw a well labeled diagram showing the effect on the
energy of the d orbitals in the square planar field.

3. (a) Using the Cartesian coordinates relative to eight ligands at the corners of a
cube, show the splitting of the d orbitals in a “cubic field” of ligands.
(c) Using the dxy and dx2-y2 orbitals as examples, explain why you placed these
two orbitals as you did in the above crystal field splitting diagram.

4. Determine the CFSE in terms of ∆ and P for the following:

(a) [Cr(NH3)6]2+
(b) [Ru(C2O4)3]3 -
(c) [Co(H2O)6]2+
(d) [Fe(CN)6]4 -

Where there are high and low-spin possibilities, briefly justify which you choose
to calculate a CFSE for.

5. Complexes with eight d electrons (d8) are sometimes square planar and
sometimes
octahedral. Consider the high-spin complexes of [NiCl 4]2- and [NiCl6]4-. Given the
splitting diagrams for these two fields and the results of Problem 4.22 (Rodger),
calculate the CFSEs for the two d 8 cases and predict which configuration is
favored under what conditions.
