Q. Which of the following complexes is example of strongest reducing agent?

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

All the complexes of $Co ^{2+}$ with six strong field ligands act as strong reducing agents. Also, $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ is readily oxidised to $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ due to higher $CFSE$ value of $d ^{6}$ configuration.
