exhibits temperature dependent magnetic behaviour (paramagnetic, diamagnetic). The coordination geometries of in the paramagnetic and diamagnetic states are respectively
- ASquare planar and square planar
- BTetrahedral and tetrahedral
- CSquare planar and tetrahedral
- Correct answerDTetrahedral and square planar
Solution
For a four coordinated complexes paramagnetic species are generally tetrahedral and diamagnetic species are square planar. As in case of tetrahedral complex weak ligands are used so pairing of inner d-orbitals electrons do not occur so unpaired electrons are present hence there is paramagnetic nature. In case of square planar strong ligands are used so pairing of inner d-orbitals electrons occur so unpaired electrons are not present hence there is diamagnetic nature.
Example: , paramagnetic, tetrahedral
, diamagnetic, square planar
Same thing is possible in the given complex according to temperature.
