Out of [CoF6]-3 and [Co(en)3]3+, which complex compound more stable.
HARD

On the basis of stability of complex ion in the solution, complexes may be of two types, perfect and imperfect complexes. The stability depends upon the extent of dissociation which in turn depends upon the strength of metal-ligand bond. The stability of complex also depends upon charge on central metal  atom, basic nature of ligand, chelation, and nature of metal ion and ligand according to HSAB principle.
