Question

2) The spin only magnetic susceptibility of an octahedral V (Z = 23) is 3.87 BM.

(a) What is the oxidation state of V in this complex? (

b) if the gap between HOMO and LUMO is 18000cm-1 , calculate LFSE (or CFSE).

3) An electron is removed from the above-mentioned system. (a) Will DO become larger or smaller?

(b) If the DO value changes by 30%, calculate the estimate value for the LFSE. (ignore Jahn-Teller effect)

(c) If you want to consider Jahn-Teller effect, what type of distortion is expected?

(d) Assign the point group for the distorted structure.
