Question

All the metal ions contains t2g 6eg0 configurations. Which of the following complex will be paramagnetic?

Options

A. [FeCl(CN)4(O2)]4-
B.K4[Fe(CN)6]
C.[Co(NH3)6]Cl3
D.[Fe(CN)5(O2)]-5

Solution

(A) [FeCl(CN)4(O2)]4- ; O2 is O22- ; CN- is strong field ligand, so compels for the pairing of electrons.
Fe3+ → 3d5      ;  
(B) K4[Fe(CN)6]  ;  CN- is strong field ligand so compels for the pairing of electrons.
Fe2+ → 3d6   :  
(C) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 ; NH3 is strong field ligand and 3d6 configuration has higher CFSE compelling for the pairing of electrons.
Co3+ → 3d6   
(D) [Fe(CN)5(O2)]5-  ; O2 is O22- ; CN- is strong field ligand so compels for the pairing of electrons.
Fe2+ → 3d6    ;
