Question

Pick out the paramagnetic species of the following

Solution

Correct option is

[Ni(NH3)6]2+

 

(a) Fe (0) = 3d64s2. CO is a strong field ligand and hence forces 4s2electrons to shift and pair up into 3d. Thus, dsp3 geometry and n = 0.

(b) Cr (0) : 3d54s1 → 3d6 (under the influence of strong ligand  CO; d2sp3hybridization (n = 0)

(c) Fe (II) : 3d6d2sp3 hybridization (CN – strong ligand), n = 0 

(d) Ni (II) : 3d8sp3d2 complex (no availability of two vacant 3d orbitals),n = 2
