Spin only magnetic moment in BM of [Fe(CO)₄(C₂O₄)]⁺ is :
- (A)0
- (B)5.92
- (C)1.73✓ Correct
- (D)1
Answer: (C)
Solution
The charge balance places iron in the state, a ion. Carbon monoxide is a strong-field ligand and forces pairing, so the five electrons occupy the lower set as , leaving one unpaired electron. The spin-only moment is .
