Identify, from the following, the diamagnetic, tetrahedral complex
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
in 
exist as 
ion.
is a weak field ligand (high spin). It will not cause pairing of electrons.
Hence, configuration of 
is
Tetrahedral with two unpaired electrons (i.e., paramagnetic) and has 
hybridisation.
In 
is a bidentate ligand thus, give octahedral structure.
In 
, 
exist as 
ion. 
is a strong field ligand (low spin). Causes pairing of electrons of 
orbital.
In 
, 
has zero oxidation state. i.e.,
is a strong field ligand causes rearrangement and pairing of electrons of 
and 
orbital.
Structure of 
is tetrahedral with 
hybridisation and it is diamagnetic.
Hence, is the correct answer.
