Among the given complexes, number of paramagnetic complexes is ______.

Answer: 2

Solution

For strong field ligands like CN⁻, we need to check the electronic configuration after pairing:
  • (Fe²⁺, d⁶): All electrons paired → Diamagnetic
  • (Fe³⁺, d⁵): 1 unpaired electron → Paramagnetic
  • (Ti³⁺, d¹): 1 unpaired electron → Paramagnetic
  • (Ni²⁺, d⁸, square planar): All paired → Diamagnetic
  • (Co³⁺, d⁶): All paired → Diamagnetic

Total paramagnetic complexes = 2
