The E° values for two low-spin iron complexes in acidic solution are as follows: [Fe(o-phen),]**(aq) + e- [Fe(0-phen),]2*(aq) E° = 1.12 V [Fe(CN),* (aq) + e [Fe(CN)6]* (aq) E° = 0.36 V (a) Is it thermodynamically favorable to reduce both Fe(III) complexes to their Fe(II) analogs? Explain. (b) Which com- plex, [Fe(0-phen)3]* or [Fe(CN)6]*, is more difficult to reduce? (c) Suggest an explanation for your answer to (b).
