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.
