Two linkage isomers X and Y of the homoleptic square-planar complex [Pd(SCN)₄]²⁻ exist: X has all four ligands S-bonded and Y has all four N-bonded. Choose the option that identifies the INCORRECT statement(s) among these.
(I) X and Y have the same shape.
(II) Pd has the same oxidation state in X and Y.
(III) Both X and Y have zero spin-only magnetic moment.
(IV) X and Y have different hybridisation at Pd.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Both isomers are square planar with Pd(II) d⁸, dsp² hybridisation and no unpaired electrons. So I, II and III are correct and only IV is incorrect.
