Which of the following complexes exhibits the highest paramagnetic behaviour?
where gly = glycine, en = ethylenediamine and bpy = bipyridyl moities
(At no: )
Options
- A\left[\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{gly})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}
- B
- C
- D\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : Greater is the number of unpaired electrons, larger is the paramagnetism.
Oxidation state of in \left[\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{gly})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+} is
(No unpaired electron in option (A))
So, option (B),
Oxidation state of in \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{en}) \text{ (bpy) }\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{2+} is
But en, bpy and all are strong field ligands so pairing occurs, thus no unpaired electrons.
So, option (C),
Oxidation state of in \left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\right]^{-}x+(-2) \times 2+(-1) \times 2=-1
\mathrm{Ti}_{22}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^2\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+} is +3, thus it contains 1 unpaired electron.
Hence, has highest paramagnetic behaviour.
