Number of paramagnetic complexes among the following is __________.
$$[\text{MnBr}_4]^{2-}$$, $$[\text{NiCl}_4]^{2-}$$, $$[\text{Ni(CN)}_4]^{2-}$$, $$[\text{Ni(CO)}_4]$$, $$[\text{CoF}_6]^{3-}$$, $$[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]^{4-}$$, $$[\text{Mn(CN)}_6]^{3-}$$, $$[\text{Ti(CN)}_6]^{3-}$$, $$[\text{Cu(H}_2\text{O)}_6]^{2+}$$, $$[\text{Co(C}_2\text{O}_4)_3]^{3-}$$
Correct Answer: 6
For determining the number of paramagnetic complexes, we examine the electronic configuration of the central metal atom/ion and the nature of the ligands (Strong Field vs. Weak Field) using Crystal Field Theory (CFT). Complexes with unpaired electrons are paramagnetic.
The number of paramagnetic complexes among the given list is 6.
