EXAMPLE
The magnetic moment of a certain Co(II) complex is 4.0 μB . What is its d-
electron configuration?
SOLUTION
A Co(II) complex is d 7.
Two possible configurations: t2g5eg2 (high-spin, S = 1½) with 3 unpaired
electrons or t2g6eg1 (Low-spin, S = ½) with 1 unpaired electron.
The spin-only magnetic moments are 3.87 μB and 1.73 μB.
Therefore, the only consistent assignment is the high-spin configuration
t2g5eg2.

Porphines and hemes: important molecules in living systems
These planar molecules have a “hole” in the center which to which a metal can
coordinate
Some critical enzymes in our cells are metalloproteins, giant biolmolecules which
contain a metal atom
These metalloproteins control key life processes such as respiration and protect
cells against disease
Vitamin B12, which prevents pernicious anemia, contains a Co atom which gives the
vitamin a red color
