← ScienceWhich outcome occurs upon application of external magnetic field to transition metal complex via ligand field splitting?
A)Induced paramagnetism from spin alignment✓
B)Increased catalytic activity from orbitals
C)Diamagnetism due to electron pairing
D)Shift in reduction potential destabilization
💡 Explanation
Upon application of an external magnetic field ligand field splitting occurs because the energy levels of the d-orbitals in a transition metal complex are altered, leading to unpaired electrons aligning their spins with the field, inducing paramagnetism. Therefore increased induced paramagnetism results, rather than diamagnetism activity or reduction potential shift, which result from different electronic properties.
