Inner orbital complexes are coordination compounds composed of a central metal atom having hybridization of the atomic orbitals including d orbitals of inner shell and s, p orbitals from the outer shell. ... Therefore, these d orbitals are in a lower energy level than s and p orbitals.
What is inner orbital complex with example?
i) Inner orbital complexes that use inner d- orbitals in hybirdisation; for example [Co(NH3)]3+ is inner orbital because the complex is using inner d-orbital therefore it's hybridization is d2sp3.
Which of the following is an inner orbital complex?
[Co(NH3)6]+ is an inner orbital complex as wall as diamagnetic m behaviour (due to absence of unpaired electrons).
