The experimental magnetic moment of Na2CoCl4 is 4.59 BM. The difference of the experimental and the spin only magnetic moment values can be explained by (a) Jahn-Teller distortion (b) Mixing of tetrahedral and square planar complexes (c) Mixing of ground state with first excited state (d) Mixing of tetrahedral and octahedral complexes

One of the more famous species in coordination chemistry is the Creutz-Taube complex: 5+ (NH3);RuN NRu(NH3)5 It is named for the two scientists who discovered it and ini- tially studied its properties. The central ligand is pyrazine, a planar six-membered ring with nitrogens at opposite sides. (a) How can you account for the fact that the com- plex, which has only neutral ligands, has an odd overall charge? (b) The metal is in a low-spin configuration in both cases. Assuming octahedral coordination, draw the d-orbital energy-level diagram for each metal. (c) In many experiments the two metal ions appear to be in exactly equivalent states. Can you think of a reason that this might appear to be so, recognizing that electrons move very rap- idly compared to nuclel?
