Which among the following is a paramagnetic complex?
- A[Co(NH3)6]3+
- B[Pt(en)Cl2]
- C[CoBr4]
- DMo(CO)6
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Co2+ : [Ar]3d74s0, here, Br– is a weak field ligand so will not cause pairing of d-electrons in Co2+.
[CoBr4]2– will exhibit paramagnetic behaviour due to unpaired electrons.
