Consider the following complex, which has Co(III) in an octahedralgeometry: [Co(en)(dien)Cl]2+ given: en = ethylenediammine = H2NCH2CH2NH2, which can beabbreviated N-N dien = diethylenediammine = H2NCH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2, which can beabbreviated N-N-N
This complex could exist with either a high-spin or low-spinelectron configuration. Provide the d-electron configurations expected in each case and given that thiscomplex is observed to be diamagnetic, what is its actual electron configuration?
