    \[C{{N}^{-}}\]is strong field ligand. This is due to the fact that:                                   [AIPMT (S) 2004]

    A) it carries negative charge

    B) it is a pseudo halide

    C) it can accept electrons from metal species

    D) it forms high spin complexes with metal species

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\text{Hin}\rightleftharpoons {{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\text{+I}{{\text{n}}^{\text{-}}}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[{{K}_{\text{ln}}}=\frac{[{{H}^{+}}][I{{n}^{-1}}]}{[HIn]}\]
    or\[[{{H}^{+}}]={{K}_{\text{ln}}}.\frac{[HIn]}{[I{{n}^{-1}}]}\]
    \[pH=-\log \,[{{H}^{+}}]\]
    \[=-\log \left( {{K}_{\text{ln}}}\cdot \frac{[HIn]}{[I{{n}^{-}}]} \right)\]
    \[=-\log \,{{K}_{\ln }}+\log \frac{[I{{n}^{-}}]}{[HIn]}\]
    \[=p{{K}_{\ln }}+\log \frac{[I{{n}^{-}}]}{[HIn]}\]
    or\[\log \frac{[I{{n}^{-}}]}{[HIn]}=pH-p{{K}_{\ln }}\]
