Which of the following complexes exhibits the highest paramagnetic...

Which of the following complexes exhibits the highest paramagnetic behaviour? where gly = glycine, en = ethylenediamine and bpy = bipyridyl moities (At no: Ti=22, V=23,Fe=26,Co=27\mathrm{Ti}=22, \mathrm{~V}=23, \mathrm{Fe}=26, \mathrm{Co}=27 )

Options

  1. A\left[\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{gly})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}
  2. B[Fe(en)( bpy) (NH3)2]2+\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{en})\left(\text{ bpy) }\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{2+}\right.
  3. C[Co(OX)2(OH)2]−\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\right]^{-}
  4. D\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}

Correct answer

C. [Co(OX)2(OH)2]−\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\right]^{-}

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea : Greater is the number of unpaired electrons, larger is the paramagnetism. [V(gly)2(OH)2(NH3)2]+V23=[Ar]4s2,3d3\begin{aligned} & {\left[\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{gly})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+}} \\ & \mathrm{V}_{23}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^3 \end{aligned} Oxidation state of V\mathrm{V} in \left[\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{gly})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{+} is x+(−1)×2+(−1)×2+(0)×2=+1x=+5 V5+=[Ar]3d0\begin{gathered} x+(-1) \times 2+(-1) \times 2+(0) \times 2=+1 \\ x=+5 \\ \mathrm{~V}^{5+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^0 \end{gathered} (No unpaired electron in option (A)) So, option (B), [Fe( en) ( bpy )(NH3)2]2+Fe26=[Ar]4s2,3d6\begin{aligned} & {\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\text{ en) }(\text{ bpy })\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{2+}\right.} \\ & \mathrm{Fe}_{26}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^6 \end{aligned} Oxidation state of Fe\mathrm{Fe} in \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{en}) \text{ (bpy) }\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right]^{2+} is x+(0)+(0)+(0)×2=+2x=+2Fe2+=[Ar]3d6\begin{gathered} x+(0)+(0)+(0) \times 2=+2 \\ x=+2 \\ \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^6 \end{gathered} But en, bpy and NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 all are strong field ligands so pairing occurs, thus no unpaired electrons. So, option (C), [Co(OX)2(OH]2]−Co27=[Ar]4s2,3d7\begin{gathered} {\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH}]_2\right]^{-}} \\ \mathrm{Co}_{27}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^7 \end{gathered} Oxidation state of Co\mathrm{Co} in \left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\right]^{-}isisx+(-2) \times 2+(-1) \times 2=-1 x−6=−1x=+5Co5+=[Ar]3d4(4 paired electrons)Now, option (D),[Ti(NH3)6]3+Ti22=[Ar]4s2,3d2\begin{aligned} & x-6=-1 \\ & x=+5 \\ & \mathrm{Co}^{5+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^4 \\ & \text{(4 paired electrons)} \\ & \text{Now, option (D),} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}} \\ & \mathrm{Ti}_{22}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^2 \end{aligned} \mathrm{Ti}_{22}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^2OxidationstateofTiinOxidation state of Ti in\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+} is +3, thus it contains 1 unpaired electron. Hence, [Co(OX)2(OH)2]−\quad\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OX})_2(\mathrm{OH})_2\right]^{-}has highest paramagnetic behaviour.
