Problem 23.35 Write the formula for each of the following compounds, being sure to use brackets to indicate the coordination sphere: (a) hexaamminechromium(III) nitrate (b) tetraamminecarbonatocobalt(III) sulfate (c) dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)platinum(IV) bromide (d) potassium diaquatetrabromovanadate(III) (e) bis(ethylenediamine)zinc(II) tetraiodomercurate(II)
Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 5) The magnetic behavior can be used to determine whether this compound is a low-spin or high-spin complex. Since there is a single peak in the visible absorption spectrum, the color of the compound should be complementary to the color of light that is absorbed most strongly. There are six valence electrons in the d orbitals. The filling of the t2 and e orbitals for both high-spin and low-spin complexes is shown below. Because the compound is diamagnetic, we know all of the electrons must be paired up, which allows us to determine that it is a low-spin complex.We are told that the compound is orange and has a single absorption peak in the visible region of the spectrum. The compound must therefore absorb the complementary color of orange, which is blue. The blue region of the spectrum ranges from approximately 430 nm to 490 nm. As an estimate we assume that the complex ion absorbs somewhere in the middle of the blue region, near 460 nm.
