JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 4th September Evening Slot - No. 6)

The one that can exhibit highest paramagnetic behaviour among the following is :

gly = glycinato; bpy = 2, 2'-bipyridine
[Fe(en)(bpy)(NH3)2]2+
[Pd(gly)2]
[Co(OX)2(OH)2]– ($$\Delta $$0 > P)
[Ti(NH3)6]3+

Explanation

[Co(OX)2(OH)2]–

(As here $$\Delta $$0 > P so those ligands act as strong field ligand and pairing happens.)

27Co+5 = [18Ar] 3d4 4s0( $$t_{2g}^{2,1,1},e_g^{0,0}$$ )

It has highest number of unpaired e– s. so it is most paramagnetic.
