Question

The correct order of ligands in the trans-directing series is

A. $$C{N^ - } > CH_3^ - > NO_2^ - > B{r^ - }$$  
B. $$C{N^ - } > B{r^ - } > NO_2^ - > CH_3^ - $$
C. $$B{r^ - } > NO_2^ - > C{N^ - } > CH_3^ - $$
D. $$CH_3^ - > C{N^ - } > NO_2^ - > B{r^ - }$$
Answer :   $$C{N^ - } > CH_3^ - > NO_2^ - > B{r^ - }$$
Solution :
The trans-effect may be defined as the labelization of ligands trans- to the other trans-directing ligand.
[ Note : The order of ligands in the trans-directing series is as follows :
$$C{N^ - } \sim CO \sim NO \sim {H^ - } > $$       $$CH_3^ - \sim SC{\left( {N{H_2}} \right)_2} \sim $$     $$P{R_3} > S{O_3}H > NO_2^ - \sim {I^ - }$$     $$ \sim SC{N^ - } > B{r^ - } > $$    $$C{l^ - } > Py > RN{H_2} \sim N{H_3} > $$       $$O{H^ - } > {H_2}O\,]$$
