Question

The correct increasing order of trans-effect of the following species is:
  1. NH3>CN>Br>C6H5
  2. CN>C6H5>Br>NH3
  3. Br>CN>NH3>C6H5
  4. CN>Br>C6H5>NH3

A
Br>CN>NH3>C6H5
B
NH3>CN>Br>C6H5
C
CN>C6H5>Br>NH3
D
CN>Br>C6H5>NH3
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Trans effect can be defined as the effect of a ligand towards substitution on other ligand which is trans to it.

(weak) F<HO<H2O<NH3<py<Cl<Br<I<SCN<NO2<SC(NH3)2<Ph<SO23<PR3<AsR3<SR2<H3C<H<NO<CO<NC<C2H4(strong).

Trans effect is nothing but those ligands which are trans directing. That means, which prefer a trans structure. Mostly in Square planar complexes.

Hence option D is correct.
