Which one of the following has a square planar geometry?

  • [CoCl4]2-

  • [FeCl4]2–

  • [NiCl4] 2–

  • [NiCl4] 2–


D.

[NiCl4] 2–

27Co2+ - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d4s0

As Cl- is weak field ligand so no pairing up.Hence it is sp3 hybridized giving tetrahedral geometry.
Fe2+ - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6 4s0

Due to Cl-, back pairing is not observed so it will be sp3 hybridized giving tetrahedral geometry.

Ni2+ - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8 4s0

Because weak ligand, back pairing is not observed so it will be sp3 i.e. tetrahedral geometry.
All the complexes of Pt2+ are square planar including those with weak field ligand such as halide ions
