How many of the following complexes are low spin? [Co(en)₃]³⁺, [FeF₆]³⁻, [Fe(phen)₃]²⁺, [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺, [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻, [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺

Answer:
3
Solution:

Low spin: [Co(en)₃]³⁺, [Fe(phen)₃]²⁺ and [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻ (strong-field ligands). [FeF₆]³⁻, [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ are weak-field and high spin. Count = 3.
