Why is CO the strongest field ligand?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 2 months ago

According to Ligand field theory ; the  π-acceptor ligands are the stronger ligand and the π-donating ligand is a weak field ligand. here, we know that NH3  is a  π-donor in comparison to the CO which is a  π-acceptor ligand.
The field created by the Ligand CO is stronger than the ligand NH3. Consequently the splitting of d-orbital created by CO is larger than the NH3. Hence CO is more stronger ligand than the NH3.
