MCQ
Which one of the following complexes is violet in colour?
  • A
    $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4-}$
  • B
    $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{SCN})_{6}\right]^{4-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{Fe}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}_{6}\right)\right]_{3} \cdot \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
  • $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{5} \mathrm{NOS}\right]^{4}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{5} \mathrm{NOS}\right]^{4}$
d
$(A)$ $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4-} \rightarrow$ Pale yellow solution

$(B)$ $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{SCN})_{6}\right]^{4-} \rightarrow$ Blood red colour

$(C)$ $\mathrm{Fe}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}_{6}\right)\right]_{3} \cdot \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow$ Prussian blue

$(D)$ $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{5} \mathrm{NOS}\right]^{4} \rightarrow$ Violet colour
