Which of the following diagmagnetic complex show co-ordination isomerism.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Coordination Isomerism: All given options are binuclear complexes (anionic and cationic parts) that can exchange ligands; thus, all satisfy this condition.
Magnetic Property: We must find the complex where both metal centers have no unpaired electrons ().
(A) Cr³⁺ () and (B) Ni²⁺ ( in tetrahedral/octahedral) are paramagnetic.
(D) Cu²⁺ () is paramagnetic.
(C) contains Pt²⁺ (). Since Pt is a metal, it always forms square planar complexes with a large crystal field splitting, pairing all electrons.
Therefore, Option C is the only fully diamagnetic complex.
