A metal M^(n+) having d^(4) valence electronic configuration combines with three bidentate ligands to form a complex compound. Assuming Delta_(0)gtP. (i) Write the electronic configuration of d^(4) ion. (ii) What type of hybridisation will M^(n+) ion has ? (iii) Name the type of isomerism exhibited by this complex.

Answer»

Solution :(i) `t_(2g)^(4)`
(ii) `d^(2)sp^(3)` (one d-electron will pair up making two empty d-orbital available for hybridisation).
(iii) Optical isomerism (SIMILAR to `[Co(EN)_(3)]^(3+)` or `[CR(o x)_(3)]^(3-)`.
