Amongst [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]; [Ni(CO)4] and [Ni(CN4)]2- the paramagnetic species are

  • [NiCl4]2-; [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]

  • [Ni(CO)4]; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]; [NiCl4]2-

  • [Ni(CN4)]2- ; [Ni(H2O)6]2+ ; [NiCl4]2-

  • [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2] ; [Ni(CO)4]; [Ni(CN4)]2-


A.

[NiCl4]2-; [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]

In [NiCl4]2- and [Ni(H2O6)]2+ ligands Cl- and H2O are weak ligands, therefore no pairing will be possible. Thus, there are two unpaired electrons.

In [Ni(Ph3)2Cl2], although PPh3 has d-acceptance nature but presence of Cl, makes electrons unpaired.
