Of the following complex ions, which is diamagnetic in nature?

  1. [NiCl4]2-
  2. [Ni(CN)4]2-
  3. [CuCl4]2-
  4. [CoF6]3-

Answer

(2) [Ni(CN)4]2-

Solution

(1) [NiCl4]2-: Ni2+ (3d8), Cl- weak field sp3, tetrahedral, 2 unpaired electrons paramagnetic.

(2) [Ni(CN)4]2-: CN- strong field pairs the 3d electrons dsp2, square planar, no unpaired electron diamagnetic.

(3) [CuCl4]2-: Cu2+ (3d9) always has 1 unpaired electron paramagnetic.

(4) [CoF6]3-: Co3+ (3d6), F- weak field sp3d2, 4 unpaired electrons paramagnetic.

Answer: (2)
