The CFSE for octahedral \left [ \text {CoCl}_{6} \right ]^{4-} is 18,000 cm–1. The CFSE for tetrahedral \left [ \text {CoCl}_{4} \right ]^{2-} will be

(i) 18,000 \text {cm}^{-1}

(ii) 16,000 \text {cm}^{-1}

(iii) 8,000 \text {cm}^{-1}

(iv) 20,000 \text {cm}^{-1}

Option (iii) is the correct answer.

Explanation :

(c) CFSE for tetrahedral complex is \Delta _{t}=\left ( \frac{4}{9} \right )\Delta _{0}

\Delta _{t}=\frac{4}{9} \times 18000=8,000 \; \text {cm}^{-1}
